Hey robot peeps - Im the head electronics/programming guy on the LF Robotics team - I am the only one of my kind on the team and this is my first year - so I have absolutely NO experience.
So......
I want to have a winMotor spin a wheel until it reaches the end of a cord and hits a limit switch - when it hits that limit switch I want it to reverse its direction until it hits a second limit switch which will be located at the point that it started from - when it hits this limit switch I want it to stop until it is triggered to start again by a button on the joystick.
How do I wire the limit switches? I seriously have absolutely no idea how to wire them or how to program them. The programming questions will be posted in the programming section. The switches have three pins - NC2, NO3, and COM1(Normally Closed, Normally Open, Common Ground).
Here is a picture of the switch:
I am using Java with Netbeans.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - THANKS!
There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging. - PVCMike [more]
