Lab scale gantry crane
About the Lab scale gantry crane PCB
Lab scale gantry crane is an open source PCB design by Cosys-Lab, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 68.6 × 53.3 mm, with 22 components from 15 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TL084. By type, the board carries 11 resistors, 8 connectors, 1 IC, 1 transistor and 1 diode.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
Repository containing the files to create the lab-scale gantry crane used in a couple of publications.
We use an Arduino Uno for monitoring and controlling the angle measuring encoder, the anemometer, the electromagnet (and the fischertechnik conveyor belt).
- arduino-shield-hardware The KiCad files of the optional Arduino shield. - arduino-shield-software The software to flash on the Arduino. - mqtt-wrapper An MQTT wrapper around the Serial interface of the Arduino. Not needed when you only want to monitor the sensors.
