Hi Guys
Firstly, if this isn't the place to post this question please advise.
OK
I need to be able to move an object about 1 kg in weight, up and down over 2 - 4 inches at an adjustable speed. I have been told that a stepper motor & PIC16F84A will be able to do the job.
The unit will need to be programmed and standalone (hence the PIC) and plugged into a UK wall socket via a power supply, have 3 push buttons to set 2inch/3inch/4inch strokes with a speed adjuster from approx 50 strokes per minute (slowest) to 100 strokes per minute (max) the duration could be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour.
The motor (just for your info) will have a crank arm on it approximatly 2 inches in length, the motion should be as smooth as possible in the transition between back and forth.
I need to know
A) If it's at all possible, if not, then suggestions/advice on how to accomplish it
B) Is there something already available that would accomplish this
C) Someone in the UK (preferably North West,ish) able to design the above item
I do not intend to build it myself as I have no idea, just looking for someone with enough knowledge to design it and supply the finished working item, I am located in Cumbria.
Thanks for reading my post
