@hayttom Maybe click here for video. This is a link to my Google Drive. As you can see/hear, my mechanism is noisy as well, but it should get the job ...
@frogandtoad "...cleaner and more elegant code..." is something that I welcome. Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't know about the constrain function...
@hayttom In my last posts, I tried to include a video of the actuator in action using the 'my media' button, but the 23-second-long video exceeded th...
Tom, I finally got my train elevator issues sorted out. Check out my latest post in the motors and control forum. Maybe some of my code can give you...
ISSUES RESOLVED! I was not satisfied with my softPWM library solution (see 2 posts above). The over current LED on the Cytron motor driver was indicat...
Progress - maybe? <SoftPWM.h> After some more online research, I discovered there is a library found in the Arduino IDE Library Manager that ca...
PROGRESS REPORT - Taking frogandtoad's suggestion ... I disconnected everything from my Arduino NANO except the encoder and the Cytron motor drive...
Hey Tom, It seems we have similar ambitions with our model layouts. My train elevator project also involves relays to kill power to the tracks while...
@hayttom Good to hear from you, Tom. The carriage on my actuator will be attached to the staging yard track boards via 4 cables with turnbuckles, an...
@robotbuilder Wow! That code looks so much better! Thanks, robotBuilder. Copy as HTML, use source code icon, paste into window- Got it!
Thanks, Bill. I was wondering why that 'P' was in the corner. 😀 With my project I am having trouble getting the the actuator to stop precisely at th...
@sj_h1 We have a NCE brand DCC system to run the layout. We have one NCE radio throttle with the NCE radio base. We will also interface the NCE sys...
