Matt McWilliams f9803d2648 Add proof of concept blink script for wiring the lamp to be driven by +5V and the TIP120 controlling 3 LEDs at once. 2024-02-21 22:54:46 +01:00
Matt McWilliams 7c8be86fb8 Motor speed is now calculated (flawed). Tests can be run on various PWM speeds, resolutions and with and without loads to determine the ability for the printer run at maximum speeds. 2024-02-21 22:48:08 +01:00

Matt McWilliams db1f8c4100 Make some sacrifices in the DriveMotor class to make it non-generalizable. Working towards porting timing functions from encoder proof of concept sketch. 2024-02-21 16:47:53 +01:00
Matt McWilliams 1aca2dd5c0 Motor behavior is stable. Discarded one of the L298N boards: now we can run the drive motor off one channel and both takeup motors off another. DO NOT USE LESS THAN 2A. Using 1.3A the motor controller board draws too much and shuts it down. Removed the rerences to Picture/Stock and am just using takeup. All progress at Worm. 2024-02-20 22:11:13 +01:00

Matt McWilliams 937cb85141 Rename encoder motor files drive motor (still broken). 2024-02-17 13:06:51 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 1056e81b82 Fill out EncoderMotor methods and add variables to be used to calculate position + speed and used for PID. TODO: rename class because it is not a generic EncoderMotor class, should instead be DriveMotor. 2024-02-17 13:05:43 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 1c1978107d Move all ramp variables to class members. To move the ramp behavior to the Loop() method there will need to be a global timer. 2024-02-17 12:17:26 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 344e1e8d1d Implement pwm ramp up with ledcWrite(), not analogWrite(). Use directional pins to start in particular direction and stop in both. Ramp behavior should move to loop so that it is not blocking loop behavior. 2024-02-16 18:57:57 -05:00

Matt McWilliams 0e52bd9dda Work on frame and panel refactor. 2024-02-05 23:12:50 -05:00
Matt McWilliams 4917080517 Frame has been resized and new panels have been drafted. Still not perfectly parametric and the const variables are getting out of hand. Needs a refactor at the top and then throughout panel modules first, removing magic numbers. Rounded panel corners at frame corners (one per panel). Printing this draft for possible revision if needed. 2024-02-04 23:33:15 -05:00

Matt McWilliams ffbbb7c3ce Work on frame resizing. Still trying to massage reel distance without cutting aluminum. Wanted to do it tomorrow but will wait until next week after doing tests this weekend. MAYBE: a module that generates a tool for generating a guide that shows how far reels will sit from one another. 2024-02-02 00:25:51 -05:00

Matt McWilliams 6321367c97 Create EncoderMotor.cpp. Compiler error on analogWrite using ESP32 build target. Without it the ledc* functions are unavailable. Will pull ESP32 build process over from meterlite. 2024-01-31 23:08:10 -05:00
Matt McWilliams 20d37eb1e6 Add header file for a motor encoder class. 2024-01-30 22:37:02 -05:00
Matt McWilliams a9944f5a47 Caught the error that was making me think I broke my ESP32 dev boards. The ledcWrite() duty cycle was not being set on the pwmChannel. This is intended for LEDS but I don't know if it matters that it's being used for a variable speed DC motor. 2024-01-30 00:12:36 -05:00
Matt McWilliams 2ce1aa54ed Update text files 2024-01-28 15:49:31 -05:00
