Re: Shooter Lifting Code

Thanks for that Ryan, I've got at least that much now.

Quote:
Anyway, can your shooter go lower than the 1st or higher than the 5th?
It technically could, since the hinge that the shooter can rotate further than the angles that we want to move to, but the intended purpose is for the the absolute maximum and minimum positions to be where the lifter arm touches the most outward touch sensors. I now plan on switching to the potentiometer setup, so programming these touch sensors as limit switches should be much easier than having 5 of them and checking for position with them, like before.
Quote:
Can the motor move too fast that it could go pass the position if you are not reading the limit switch fast enough?
I can fix this problem by slowing down the motor when the potentiometer's voltage gets closer to matching the max and min shooter angles.

Thank you for the help guys. We are now testing different available potentiometers, and we will manufacture a mount to attach it to the lift system.
