Hey guys,
Check this out!
It's an inclonometer for use on manual or hydraulic bending brakes to indicate the bend angle.
I used a US digital transducer for the measurement of the pendulum angle, converted it into a pwm signal for a 180 degree RC servo and move a pointer in a picture frame to indicate the bend angle.
It sticks to the blade with magnets and that makes it an easy install.
I used a Nano for the processing, but any micro will do the job.
I will be trying this out on an actual machine at some stage, but on paper this works nicely.
Anyone who tries out this design, please let me know how it goes for you?
