iMac Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm currently doing my final year project at university. Part of what I'm designing involves a certain degree of automation. I'm fairly sure I've got the hardware I need (control switch, microcontroller and solenoids) but I'm really struggling to write the code. It's a pretty simply setup I have in mind. Basically the user presses an on switch, a valve opens for 10s, stops, a stand rotates 180, the valve opens for another 10s, stops, then an extraction fan switches on. That's it. I know it's a long shot, but if there's anybody on here who knows anything about automation or coding, could they please either PM me or reply in this thread? You'd be doing me a massive favour.

iMac Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 <p>Tbh, I don't really know. And also, I'm not sure if it really matters. As long as I have code to present to my project advisor it will be fine. </p><p> </p><p> Damonster, I'm assuming you have a certain degree of interest/expertise in this field. If you have a particular programming language that you feel is better/easier to use to maybe help me out then by all means say so. I won't be physically building what I'm designing, it's a theoretical system. So any language will do really.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonster Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 <p>I only know visual basic, some Q Basic and very few java. I have made a robot using Q basic for a class project. If you know Visual Basic, Q Basic is pretty much the exact same but is only writing.</p><p> </p><p> Just wondering, do you know Visual Basic?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Nah sadly not. But do you think what I'm looking for could be done on Visual Basic? I could maybe ask on a Visual Basic forum or something for some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMac Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Q Basic? Ok, well I guess that's some progress at least. I'll try see if I can find a Q Basic forum and try see if I can figure things out. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
