At it’s heart, it’s a straightforward design, using a linear rail and a leadscrew driven by a stepper motor. Control is via an Arduino Nano, with a few push buttons and a 16 x 2 LCD display ...

Because students are using it, it needs to be short-circuit-proof – no possibility that a mix-up in control signals can cause the drive to short out the rails (see DANGER, right). BTW, don’t use these ...

ClearCore CLCR-4-13 is an industrial IO and motion controller that can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. It handles up to four axes of ...
