Hello,
Here's what I have:
Price is right IGT slot machine wheel connected to....
K179 Stepper driver (which controls speed and direction of wheel)
Light control board (controls chasing light speed)
VLT130 AC/DC power supply
TDK-Lambda DSP30-12 power supply
Video here
As you can see by the video, the wheel spins albeit slowly. When I manually increase the stepping speed on the K179, the spinning stops and just freezes. My goal is to have this spin fast and then slow down and stop on a random number which I believe I will need some sort of a trigger for.
Goals:
Spin faster without freezing
Have the unit connected to a button when pressed would slow down and stop randomly
Is there any arduino hardware (or similar) I can use to replace the existing hardware that would accomplish this? I'm not sure the current hardware will accomplish what I'm looking to achieve.
Any help is appreciated
