    Automate Machine

    I would like to automate this machine to bend tubes on it’s own. This machine bends by rolling tubes back and forth multiple times. Please look at picture below to better understand how this machine works. What I need to do is put proximity sensors on point A and point B. Run the tube across...

    RPM counter that stops machine after 10 cycles

    I like the switch and finger idea better because the work enviroment is dirty and hazardous. So once the finger hits the switch ten times the machine would turn off. The programmable counter would switch the relay from a normally closed position to a normally open position after the set number...

    RPM counter that stops machine after 10 cycles

    I like the idea. How do I make it. I have a very limited knowledge of electronics. I know resistor, capacitors, diodes, relays, different voltages, ac, dc, amps but I can't design anything. 1) do you have a model number for the ir led and ir detector from a store like radio shack or some other...

    RPM counter that stops machine after 10 cycles

    I have a machine that twist metal square tubes. It makes a spiral turns into the tubes to make them more decorative. Problem is that I have to count the turns myself and then manually turn off the machine. I would like to make or buy a device that would turn off the machine after 10 turns. The...

    Breath Alcohol Tester controlling car ignition

    I don't think anyone should be helping with this project. If you need an Breath Alcohol Tester in your car, it for a very good reason. Probably too many convictions for Driving Under the Influence of  Controlled Substance AKA driving drunk.

    Extend range on a RF remote control

    There is no antenna coming out of the remote. You can get a good picture of the remote control that I"m using if you follow the link that I posted. Would adding a frequency amplifier be an option and if so, how would I add it to the remote?
