nRF24 Module suitable for master-slave motor control across five units

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Communication Modules

Customer:

I’m trying to set up communication between five stepper motors where one would be the master and the others would read its information and mirror its behavior through their own modules and Arduino boards. Is the nRF2401 module suitable for this?

Also, I need to power five NEMA 14 motors driven through a driver at 12V, and I’ll need to add LED lighting as well.

pokusao sam se ulogirati na vas forum ali mi nikako ne polazi za rukom. Na stranici e radionica sam kreirao acc i postavio informacije za forum. Ali opet ne ide, mozda je kvaka u tome sto nisam uopce primio nikakav mail potvrde registracije. Registrirao sam na mail [email removed]

Zanimale su me dvije stvari:
1 MODUL NRF2401, zelim ostvariti komunikaciju izmedu pet step motora jedan bi bio glavni i na njegovome arduinu bi bio program a drugi bi ocitavali njegove informacije i oponasali ga preko svojih modula i arduino plocica. Pa me zanima da li je ovaj modul pogodan za to.

  1. Napajanje za tih pet motora to su motori NEMA 14 spojeni su preko drivera na 12 V (Pololu - Stepper Motor: Bipolar, 200 Steps/Rev, 35×36mm, 2.7V, 1 A/Phase) uz motore bi jos trebao staviti i led rasvijetu.

Srdacno,

Soldered Support:

Yes, this will work. One module would act as a “master” while the others listening to it would be “slave” modules. Open communication with each one using pipes and you’re set.

For the power supply: you’ll need to step the voltage down to 5V for the nRF. As long as your 12V power supply provides sufficient current, you won’t have any issues.

Evo i odgovora:

  1. Da, to možete napraviti. On bi bio nekakav “master” modul, dok bi drugi koji bi njega slušali bili “slave” moduli. Sa svakime otvorite komunikaciju, tzv. pipe i to je to!

  2. Štima, ali za NRF ćete morati spustiti napon na 5V. Sve dok 12V napajanje daje dovoljno struje, nećete imati problema.
