I am currently working on a mechatronics project and am competely lost. There is no text book, all I have is the professors notes and schematics, not sure how a lot of stuff works.
Any way I have to use a stepper motor to lower and raise a sinker to 4" depth, 8", and 12". These are selected based on a binary input of 01, 10, 11 from two switches.
Now I am not sure at all how to get the stepper motor to rotate 4 turns, to 4 " then switch direction and rotate 4 to return to the initial state. I would assume I need to take the switch input, and compare it to a counter to get it to stop, my main issue is getting it to count down to switch direction.
Any suggestions on how to change the direction of the stepper motor?
I am using a 555 frequency input into the binary counter to control speed. These were all specified by the professor. Help me please.
