Since I want the ramp to stop when the ring is at the very top of the ramp, what mechanism should I use? I will get the Lady Brown arm at the correct position, then what should I do to stop the ramp automatically? Some sort of sensor?
distance or color sensor is most common/effective but you could probably get the job done with a well placed limit switch too if you don’t have the more expensive sensors. Color sensor is preferred because it allows color sorting where you get rid of wrong color rings, hope this helps.
Can you please elaborate on how the limit switch would help? My arm can catch the ring moving from top, down to the ring, so it needs the ring to be at the top of the ramp and the ramp stopped - looks like I am missing something
I haven’d tried but you might be able to make it work to where when the ring hit the limit switch while going up the intake the intake stops shortly afterwards.
I would recommend lowering the RPM. The slower it goes the less friction is used, therefore stopping the ring from falling
