Hi All,
New to this forum but am looking for some help on a project i am working on. Must say there are some great threads on here. I will be an expert yet
I am not new to electronics but can no means say I am a professional.
Basically I want to be able to do some life cycle testing on motors. So direct connection to motors, also i want to be able to connect the same circuit to a relay to trigger an electric actuator. Involved in this would be different cycle times so for example say:
Example 1.
On 10 secs, off 60 secs,
On 10 secs, off 60 secs,
On 10 secs, off 60 secs,
On 10 secs, off 60 secs,
On 10 secs, off 3600 secs, During this I would also like to be able to count the cycles that the motor runs for
Example 2.
On 75 secs, Off 30 secs, On 15 secs, off 1800 secs, Again like to be able to count cycles.
As you can see it has to be programmable depending on what is require.
Some Equipment I already have at hand are a power supply, Pic K150 programmer, Various chips (PIC12F683-I/P, PIC16F72-I/SP, PIC18F4550-I/P).
I am not limited on budget as i want a fairly robust system that Is user friendly after being initially set up, What would be the best method to achieve this?
Thanks.
