DESCRIPTION
Project to use a Nano Arduino to control a self powered elliptical machine through a USB interface. The output of the three phase elliptical generator is rectified and regulated and then controlled by PWM and a PID loop to source a constant current to the elliptical brake. Generator pulses are counted to determine speed and distance.
Brake current can be set through a GUI which also displays exercise time, average speed and distance.
Tkinter is used both as a GUI and thread manager to simplify the software. KiCad is used for designing the printed circuit board.
Features
- Arduino Nano, Python and Tkinter based project.
- Hardware uses simple lock in amplifier design for precision brake current control.
This is an application that can also be fetched from https://sourceforge.net/projects/elliptical-controller/. It has been hosted in OnWorks in order to be run online in an easiest way from one of our free Operative Systems.
