Conveyor Box

Conveyor Box - The items delivery system based arduino. 3D printed parts, wooden carcass and acrylic windows.

There are 5 boxes on board. The conveyor mechanism will deliver the required box to the central mechanics window for you to pick it up.

Compared to other storage methods, the Conveyor looks futuristic, expensive and technologically advanced. 😁

How It Work

• Scroll the encoder from 1 to 4 slot that appears in the display.

• Single click - confirm, hold click - reset the timer for choose. If time is up, the arduino falls asleep.

(In actual version, instead of the encoder, we use the button)

Single press - next slot, hold pressd - reset timer for choose. If the time is up, your choice confirmed and the algorithm starts.

• The conveyor will move to the confirmed slot.

• To end the session, press the encoder (button) once.

The center window will close and the conveyor will return to its initial position.

INSTALLATION // Getting Started

If you haven't changed the sketch pins, connect pins by instructions :

Sensor button	Right servo	Left servo	Central servo	Stepper	LCD with i2c
D2	D5	D6	D4	8, 9, 10, 11	(SDA) A4, (SCL) A5

Libraries

Upload additional libraries from repository.

Move uploaded libraries into:

Documents	x64	x32
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries	C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries	C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries

Additional libraries - CustomStepper & LiquidCrystal_I2C. Other libraries are standard

Sketch

1. Download src/main.ino
2. Make the pins according to the scheme.
3. Upload main.ino into your arduino

Use sketch functions separately

Repository has three functions:

• Central servo (Front Automatic Window)
• R\L Servos (Right/Left Fixate Servos)
• Stepper (Circle)

Central Servo

move_doorservo(int mode) - mode (true/false)

// (true) If the servo is in pos 90 (#define doorangle "degree of rotation") - servo returns to zero pos
// (false) If the servo is in pos 0 (#define doorangle "degree of rotation") - servo returns to 90 pos

Stepper

indexstepper(int tangaz, int mode) - tangaz (0-180 (position in degrees) ), mode (true/false (switch between servos) )

// If we raise the servo - we can lower them, but not vice versa!
// For swap this process, swap: mode == true & mode == false with steppermode = true; &  steppermode = false;

R\L Servos

move_highservo(int mode) - mode (true/false)
move_lowservo(int mode) - mode (true/false)

// If we raise the servo - we can lower them, but not vice versa!
// (true) lower
// (false) raise by #define leftservo "degree of rotation"
// This sketch contains 2 servos. Right and Left. Use as usual, raise - lowering.
[ move_lowservo - right / move_highservo - left ]
