Built for Birkbeck, the microscope controller is a open source stepper motor driver. It uses an Arduino Uno, and arduino stepper motor shield to drive a Phytron ZSS32. 200 1. 2A 3V stepper motor. To move the sample port, we use an inverted Marzhauser microscope stage, controlled by an Arduino Uno. The Arduino drives four SN754410 quadruple half h d

rivers (connected in parallel). The Phytron ZSS33 stepper motors draw 1. 2 A per phase (i. e 2. 4 A) but the SN754410 is limited to 1A, hence four in parallel). The schematic below shows the final circuit, which controls one of the axes. The schematic shows only one SN754410 IC. otherwise it looks messy. I think all the part numbers and connections are correct - check before building! /* * COD (CO2Driver) */ #include // create an instance of the stepper class, specifying // the number of steps of the motor and the pins it`s // attached to, for each of the motors Stepper stepper1(200, 6, 7, 8, 9); int sensor1=A0; int sensorVal1; int sensorVal2; int defaultval1; int defaultval2; void setup() { stepper1. setSpeed(5); Serial. begin(9600); pinMode(2, INPUT); // set pin 2 to input digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistors pinMode(3, INPUT); // set pin 3 to input digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistors pinMode(A5, INPUT); // Set A5 to input digitalWrite(A5, HIGH); // Turn on pull up resistors defaultval1=analogRead(sensor1); //Get the centre voltage of the joystick } void loop() { if (analogRead(5) < 100) { Xmove(); } } void Xmove(){ //Define the centre position for joystick // defaultval1=503; // get the current joystick position sensorVal1=analogRead(sensor1); //Speed of the motor is proportional to offset of the joystick int offset1=defaultval1-sensorVal1; int spd1=1+abs(offset1)/4; //Axis 1 -ve...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
