Sit and Stand Desk via Python

Mon Dec 18, 2017 12:58 am

Hello. I am a beginner in Python and currently attempting to create a touch screen control unit for a sit stand unit. I would like to have it so I can save presets, and of course control the desk. I currently have a TiMotion T15 Sit Stand Control Box which has no documentation, but it does have an RJ45 Connector. How could I achieve this? Note: I am a beginner


Thanks!

do you have the TiMotion Actuators?, gear motors?, columns?
if not i think it would be better to design your own system, possibly using threaded bar connected to a stepper motor, with a bolt mounted to the desk which travels up and down the threaded bar as the bar turns.
i cant see a way of using presets without using stepper motors, unless you rigged up the unit with a bunch of switches to detect various heights and id imagine that the time it would take to go up an down would depend on the load of the desk so you couldnt manage presets by motor run time.
using 2x stepper motors with lead screw would probably be best
