Rotating Carousel for Parts Containers
Description
<h1><font color="green"><i>Purpose</i></font></h1> <h2><font color="green">This project is in response to the mountain of parts I keep collecting. So much so, that I’ve now filled four different categories of parts, I have now created a carousel, that will hold all of these, allowing a stepper motor to turn a platter, on which the containers sit..</font></h2> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <font size=5><font color="blue"><i>Main Components</i>:</font> **<font color="blue">The major components that make this project work are;</font>** <font color="blue">1/ An Arduino Mega 2560 (you could also use a due, which would run faster) 2/ A 3.95 inch (RED) touch screen display 3/ A4988 Stepper Driver 4/ My board design for Power Supply & relay 5/ 608zz bearings (skateboard wheels) for the carousel to rest on 6/ Springs to allow the carousel to maintain a level base for containers 7/ A stepper motor Nema17 x 39mm (approx 1.5 Amp per phase) I used 17HS15-1504S-X1 Nema 17 Stepper Motor 45Ncm 8/ NJC5002c Hall-Effect (magnet) sensor</font> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my fifteenth __'Thing'__, & also my fifteenth __'Fusion 360'__ design.
