Arduino code and electronics related to the Propulsion Spin Caster.

Contains an Arduino sketch that is running on a Arduino Nano along with the schematics for the full control circuit. The spincaster creates fuel grains for the MULE-1 hybrid engine by spinning liquid paraffin wax until it has solidified, leaving a cylindical bore down the center. These software and electronics control the motor by implementing a timer that shuts off the motor when finished and at loss of power to the control system for safety.

BOM: 1x Arduino Nano 1x Rotary Encoder with Click 1x 16x2 LCD 1x 220 AC rated Relay 1x 5.5x2.1mm Barrel Plug 1x 10kOhm Potentionmeter 1x Rocker Switch 1x Flyback Diode on relay to stop Back EMF into Nano Misc Wire and connectors, mainly Dupont
