This is a long one. my first project with motors. using 3 motor i need to rotate only 2 motors at any given time. the rotation angle can be various.
Motor1, M2 and M3. M1 is ON al the time. Either m2 or m3 is ON at any given time. The user inputs angular movent (degree) and increment steps(degree) for each motor and pushes enter, the motors should then move each increment and pause for 5seconds before moving to the next increment. The increments should be a minimum of 1 degree. for example move M1 from 0deg to 60deg in 1deg increment and from 61deg to 180deg use 5deg increments.
This is for a Goniometer - photometric purposes to be used in a dark room. The motors will move a frame around a lumenair. the frame weighs 20kgs. The pause after each incerment is for a photo-diode to take light intensity measurment which will be converted ADC and recorded in a table to be plotted.
Can all the intelligent people help me to determine which motors will be best to use? I have looked at a few Allen Bradley systems costing up to $4000. i'm a university student and i will do the entire project myself on a $500 budget.
Can someone help me??
Thanks all.
