These are remains of a project i did during my automation studies. It's an attempt to use real electronic parts and motors to control a LEGO model. It's mostly complete but needs some additional work. This project consists of:
- LDCad model of a simple conveyor-belt base production facility
- KiCad schematic of electronic wiring
- PlatformIO project with the control firmware, for use with LOLIN32-lite board (any Arduino will do)
Some photos are available here: https://imgur.com/a/gFlp7bf. Unfortunately I haven't recorded it in action before disassembly of electronics, but you have my word that conveyor and ball dispensers are moving as intended.
LDCad model from this repo is an attempt to digitize a structure which I hand-built without too much planning. During transition to digital model I've realised there are lots of inconsistencies which result in stress put into LEGO parts - many things don't fit nicely, so this should be fixed.
If you plan to build this thing I suggest you take a look at LDCad model first and try to fix it - those tensions result in excessive friction in conveyor and ball dispenser mechanisms.
