Hello all, I have a project involving stepper motors and I need help developing the control circuitry. What I need is a control system that will permit me to run the stepper motor continuously forward as long as I step down and hold a floor pedal. I would like to have an ability to change the speed with a variable pot if possible.
Next, I would like the motor to do an automatic reverse when I step off the floor pedal. I would like to have an ability to change the reverse speed with a variable pot if possible and to also be able to adjust the amount of time the motor is in reverse before stopping fully. The amout of time in reverse could be anywhere from 1 ms to 10 sec. If possible, would like to use pushwheel switches to control the reversing time.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or insites?
Thanks in advance
