I'm in need of a custom program designed for a Raspberry Pi Zero that can control three bipolar micro stepper motors using three A4988 motor drivers. The core aspect of the job is to accurately manage the operation of the motors as described below: - Establish initial connection and ongoing control with three bipolar stepper motors by designing a simple user interface to control inputs such as speed, run time, and positioning of each motor. - Ensure smooth synchronized movement between the 3 motors. Each motor has a 300:1 gearbox and will drive a very slow moving assembly. I would like to use micro stepping to further slowdown the movement. For this task, the ideal candidate should be proficient in the following skill set: - Solid understanding of Raspberry Pi programming. - Extensive experience with bipolar stepper motor control. Control of the Raspberry Pi should be done remotely via a phone. The user interface can be very simple, with inputs that allow each motor's speed, and start/end points to be set. When the program is running, I'd like the user interface to display the position and speed of each motor. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will share more details with qualified candidates.

As an experienced freelancer, focusing on motor control and embedded systems, I would be a great fit for your project. I have a solid understanding of Raspberry Pi programming which includes designing and implementing user-friendly interfaces for controlling motors, particularly in a remote configuration. Additionally, my extensive knowledge in stepper motor control resolves your requirement for smooth and synchronized movement among the 300:1 gearbox motors with microstepping. One of the unique aspects that sets me apart from others is my proficiency in digital motor control. I have substantial experience working with step motors, BLDC motors, and DC motors in low-speed applications. My grasp on torque and speed loop generation as well as control algorithms makes me reliable for accurately managing and overseeing the motor operations precisely as you described. Besides these skills, my diverse background in analog design, electronic design, power electronics, PCB design, Matlab simulations -- all contribute to strengthening my capabilities to deliver your desired outcome effectively. With me handling this project, you can rest-assured about receiving a high-quality solution that works seamlessly, is simple to use via a phone-controlled UI and displays the position and speed of each motor as required. Let's collaborate to bring your vision to life!

Hi I'm an electronics engineer with 10+ years of experience, including Arduino, ESP, STM, and Raspberry. I have all the hardware for the project and am ready to start immediately. I would strongly recommend using ESP32 instead of Raspberry because it has a minimal start-up time, works in real time and is more reliable than Raspberry Linux. Please contact me to discuss the details. Best regards, Dennis

Hi, I'm not a bot.. Peter I can do this for you, if the gear ratio is 300/1 then we have to calculate how many steeps will reach any desired position. Take a look into my profile I'm well versed in Raspberry, Python and hardware integration. I can perfectly do this for you. What I offer you is a flask application that will allow you to control your motors from a local webpage. Everything made with Python. Anyway, there are other details that we must discuss, the only thing is that I'm out of the budget. I'm a Software Engineer and I want to help you. Thanks Martin O. ~

Hello, I have rich experience with stepper motor controlling using Rasbperry Pi. 1. Could you please provide the specific specifications and technical details of the three bipolar stepper motors, including the motor model, operating voltage, current, and step angle? 2. Do you have any specific requirements or preferences for the user interface design? Are there any specific features or functionalities that you would like to incorporate? 3. Could you provide more details about the desired slow movement and the micro-stepping requirements? For example, the desired step resolution or any specific considerations related to the micro-stepping mode. 4. Would you like the motor control program to run automatically on the Raspberry Pi Zero upon startup, or would you prefer to initiate the program manually? 5. Are there any specific security or access control requirements for the remote control functionality? 6. Do you have any specific deadlines or milestones that need to be considered for this project? Thanks
