Project Schematic
The project schematic is fairly simple, click here for component information.
The pushbutton is used to begin the operation of the device. Once the pushbutton is pressed, the red LED is turned off and the green LED is turned on. Next, the main lift motor is turned on. The main lift motor is controlled by the H-bridge, the H-bridge is used so that the motor can turn in reverse to reset the device.The main lift motor remains on until the upper limit switch is pressed. Once this switch is pressed the main lift motor turns off and the divider motor is switched on. After all the spools have been released from the dividers, the pushbutton is pressed a second time which causes the device to reset. The H-bridge causes the motor to turn in reverse and lower the platform, the platform stops its decent when the lower limit switch is pressed.
