Hello all,
My name is Wilfred and I live in The Netherlands, Europe. I’m currently working on a project for which I would like to use some Pololu products.
My machine will have to operate stand-alone with no connection to a computer or any other kind of control device.
The machine is equipped with two DC gear motors, the baby orangutan B-328 robot controller, NiMH battery pack and a on/off push button.

How the machine operates:
Push the start button
Power on
Gear motor 1 – 100 revolutions cw
Gear motor 1 – stop
Gear motor 1 – 100 revolutions ccw
Gear motor 1 – stop
Gear motor 2 – 10 revolutions cw
Gear motor 2 – stop, delay 3 seconds
Gear motor 2 – 10 revolutions cw
Gear motor 2 – stop, delay 3 seconds
Gear motor 2 – 10 revolutions cw
Gear motor 2 – stop, delay 3 seconds
Gear motor 2 – 10 revolutions cw
Gear motor 2 – stop
Power off
Gear motors run simultaneously and independently.
For prototype use, I would like to adjust these items:
1.Start time both gear motors after pressing push button
2.Speed at the start
3.Number of revolutions cw and ccw
4.Stop times both gear motors
5.Delay time gear motor 2
The items I would like to have:
1.a schematic diagram for the hardware
2.the programm to let the machine do what’s intended to do.
Before building the device, I would like to simulate the software in Proteus or similar software.
My questions:
1.I would like to receive an example of a schematic diagram or a link to a website so I can learn how to draw schematic diagram myself.
2.I would like to see a program suitable for controlling the device or a link to a website so I can learn how to write software myself.
3.Could you give me some advise which software is best suitable for simulating the Baby Orangutan B-328?
Thanks in advance for your help and information.
Best regards,
Wilfred
