Welcome to Science Fun Innovations, LLC! My passion is finding simple and affordable ways to automate things at home using platforms such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. I love motors, actuators, pumps, 3D printers, and solar power. I try to leave detailed step-by-step DIY instructions in my videos and links for parts so that you can do similar projects on your own. Some projects (like my automated etch-a-sketch) are just for fun and learning, but others have the intent of saving me money. Look for future projects on my channel that make my house more efficient, make life easier, or that are just plain Science Fun! If this interests you, please subscribe to my channel and share my videos with others. Find me on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks for watching!
Build this in labview by using Arduino because the company work with labview This is a single phase or two phase stepper motor, how do you keep track of the place of the motor in power loss?
This is a bipolar motor. In the event of a power loss you lose the position unless you use an encoder. You can easily talk between labview and Arduino. Check out some of my other videos using serial communication.
Please can you do a vid on using an a arduino cnc shield/ expansion board I have one but I’m having a problem setting the right driver controller current and also I’m having trouble with my nema 17 motors over heating even though I have set the correct current
I've built 3D printed holders for them...and use a rubber ball or pencil eraser in the other half of the fixture to help distribute the load over the sensor.
Is there s feedback loop available, some sensing that can tell the ucontroller whether the shaft is lagging behind expected position? Do motors offer positional feedback, or is that a separate attached sensor? Is parasitic sending of magnet position in motors done?
I had this idea for a hobby project and searched to see if it's been done. Yup... it's been done.... Off to think about other old toys to tinker with.... great stuff!
With high rpm there is lower torque. It didn't seem to get hotter than normal. Next week I will have a video showing constant acceleration which will be better for high loads. Thanks!
please sir I have a school task, and my project about teakwondo protectors with scoring systeme, and I want to use FSRs for detecting the applayed force but you said that it work only for light objects, so do you have any ideas, thanks for the video!
I saw some videos where they use a 12v motor with a potentiometer to tell the arduino what position it is in. I don't know if that actuator can do the same job.
You are describing almost identical situation as I am trying to solve, so please give me a few answers... 1. Is there good enough alternative to Fusion 360? 2. Can it be done with sketchup? 3. What flavour of Fusion do you use? Free or payed version? Thanks in advance
Yes. I will probably upgrade it soon to make it a little wider. Rigidity is the most important, so as you get bigger you really need things stiff. So, it gets a bit more expensive the larger you go. Someday I hope to build a giant on that can take a full sheet of plywood.
Can we make a circuit without using buttons such that if we program it in labview, one click will push it forward and another click er take it backwards?
Thank you! This is the information I was looking for. You laid it out very nice and explained it well! I am an RC/Arduino newbee and needed help. I did "Like" and Subscribed, I have an idea you have more great videos to learn from.
Hi, your video is so helpful for me. But I have one question. As I know, peak current of L298N is 2A. But your linear actuator's continuous current or stall current seem to exceed 2A. is it okay to use L298N?
Does anyone know how to find out the UUID characteristics and server of my device? I have an M5Stack Core 2, I thought I had found it but I don't think so, because Write doesn't work, if I try in a ble scanner app any one works, but not in the mit app inventor..
Hi, I am doing CNC machine using servo motor. Can you plz guide me little bit??? How to use for servo motor based CNC? How to configure Universal G-Code Sender for servo motors?
@@ScienceFunInnovations Yup. I am only confused with 4:40 (Calibrate). How will I find these values for my machine. As I am using Yamamoto ydk ya-010-1 servo motors.
Hi! I use lots of Fans(over 10+) so I use independent 12v supply. In my case, I just connect yellow&blue line of fan to 2, 3 pin of Arduino and Fans +/- lines connecting to 12v supply? I can't English well so you might be hard to understand my sentence. I'm sorry but I hope you answer my question Thank you!
If I understand correctly, I think you are on the right track. You may also need to connect the GND of the Arduino to the Negative on the 12V power supply. Good luck.
I have 3 nema 17 60mm for x and y. Will this do or should i buy nema23's. I have exactly same planed dimensions 1000mm x 500mm. Plan to use rack and pinion with spring foy y and common lead screw for x and z for now. Any thoughts? Will mainly use on wood designs. Will use hgr15 linear rails.
My Z axis is NEMA 17 and it does fine. 17's would probably work for this, but you might want 23's if you ever want to upgrade. Thanks for watching! Good luck!
Good day. I would like to control a TGM7 series 24V 6A geared motor using a 24V DC motor controller (lithium battery) and Arduino. I would appreciate your help on this subject.
I am using one of these to send signal to a plc. Is there a way to get a signal high output when it detects a magnet? I'm a mechanical engineering student.
Can you show me what the hardware connection would look like? I am trying to connect a 12 V 4 wire Fan to Arduino I understand Arduino only takes 5V wouldn’t the power supply fry the circuit?
Hey, update for the project I am making similar to this one. It mostly works, the only thing is that the phone isn't charging (I'm using an iPhone 8). when I connect it, the light from the Step Up DC-DC Boost Converter is on for like 2 seconds, then is off. I have to turn the switch off, and back on for the converter to turn back on again. Do you know why that is? Also, for some reason, the lithium-ion battery charger, when the solar panels are connected, the red and blue lights turn on when it is in direct sunlight. When there is minimal sunlight, only the blue is on. Do you know why is that as well? Thank you so much and I would love to hear from you asap on either or both of these questions.
That project was such a long time ago, I'll try to remember a little. If I were to do it again, I would use bigger solar panels. I would turn off my phone to help it charge faster. And I was using an older phone that didn't have rapid charging. So long story short, if I did it again I would use a bigger solar panel and make sure the it has the right voltage output during full sun.
This video helps a lot! Starting my electronics journey, I have made a basic inverter circuit with two npn transistors and practiced soldering various thongs. Thought it was time to get an arduino and see how to control these computer fans that i got from a trashed computer, with just an arduino and not have to use a speed controller!
Excellent, just what I was looking for 🎉 now if you could just add a 10w pwm diode laser and show how and show us how it all works together on the cnc that would be amazing.
I'm not able to connect the Arduino Seeed chip to the MIT app once it's on my Android Tablet. I think it may have to do with Bluetooth permissions with newer versions - is this something you encountered?
Great video,I will build one similar to yours. I have questions. why the power supply is 36V instead of 24V? What is the ampere for the 36V power supply
