Hello, I am new to all this but am learning and really enjoying it.
I have been working on a project to turn a machine with a motor for a time period then stop and wait for a tiime period then repeat.
This is not working out so I want to change the plan and make it work on a button/motion sensor and limit switches.
This is the code I have and I had alot of help from others on this.
Ideally you would push a button, the motor would run for a time period or hit limit swich then reverse for a time period and stop until button pushed again.
This is the code I have.
// run forwards for 10sec
// stop for 2sec
// reverse for 10sec,
// stop for 3min
// repeat the loop endlessly.
int r_en = 2;
int l_en = 3;
int r_pwm = 5;
int l_pwm = 6;
void setup() {
pinMode(r_en, OUTPUT);
pinMode(l_en, OUTPUT);
pinMode(r_pwm, OUTPUT);
pinMode(l_pwm, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
forward();
delay(10000);
stop();
delay(2000);
reverse();
delay (10000);
stop();
delay (3 * 60 * 1000);
}
void stop() {
analogWrite(r_pwm, 0);
analogWrite(l_pwm, 0);
digitalWrite(r_en, LOW); // disable r motor
digitalWrite(l_en, LOW); // disable l motor
}
void forward() {
analogWrite(r_pwm, 150);
analogWrite(l_pwm, 0);
digitalWrite(r_en, HIGH); // enable motor r
digitalWrite(l_en, HIGH); // enable motor l
}
void reverse() {
analogWrite(r_pwm, 0);
analogWrite(l_pwm, 150);
digitalWrite(r_en, HIGH); // enable motor r
digitalWrite(l_en, HIGH); // enable motor l
}
