$250 - Auto ZEOvit Reactor DIY Demo with Arduino Uno

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5yMNgVN9Gw

Ok, to start with my Zeolite Reactor I know I had to be able to run a stepper motor.
So after looking on the Internet, I found the Arduino Uno R3.
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno

It can run a stepper motor up to 12 V, but you have to do some Programing. (you will find my Code in this Thread so you could copy and paste it)

Then I found the Arduino Motor-Shield R3 to run my stepper motor.
http://arduino.cc/de/Main/ArduinoMotorShieldR3

With the Motor-Shield you can run one stepper motor 12 V and up to 4 A.

This is a nice Tutorial on the how to get started.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Ardu...orial/?lang=de

This is my Program code for my motor:
//Mike Braun ZEOvit Filter
#include

const int stepsPerRevolution = 40; // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
// for your motor

// initialize the stepper library on the motor shield
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution,12,13);

// give the motor control pins names:
const int pwmA = 3;
const int pwmB = 11;
const int brakeA = 9;
const int brakeB = 8;

int previous = 0;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// set the PWM and brake pins so that the direction pins // can be used to control the motor:
pinMode(pwmA, OUTPUT);
pinMode(pwmB, OUTPUT);
pinMode(brakeA, OUTPUT);
pinMode(brakeB, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pwmA, HIGH);
digitalWrite(pwmB, HIGH);
digitalWrite(brakeA, LOW);
digitalWrite(brakeB, LOW);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
// set the motor speed (for multiple steps only):
//myStepper.setSpeed(500);
}


void loop() {

//Get Motor up to 500 speed and turn 500 times / Total turns 2030
myStepper.setSpeed(400);
myStepper.step(30);
myStepper.setSpeed(500);
myStepper.step(2000);
//Slow Motor down and stop
myStepper.setSpeed(300);
myStepper.step(10);
myStepper.setSpeed(200);
myStepper.step(10);
myStepper.setSpeed(100);
myStepper.step(10);
delay(1000);

//Get Motor up to 500 speed and turn 500 times / Total turns 2030
myStepper.setSpeed(400);
myStepper.step(-30);
myStepper.setSpeed(500);
myStepper.step(-2000);
//Slow Motor down and stop
myStepper.setSpeed(300);
myStepper.step(-10);
myStepper.setSpeed(200);
myStepper.step(-10);
myStepper.setSpeed(100);
myStepper.step(-10);
delay(1000);

}

I got my motor from www.tme.eu but you can get any stepper motor up too, 12 V and max 4 A
As long as your motor can run more than 1.2 Nm you should be Okay.
My motor is a 3.3 V / 3 A Motor with 1.2 Nm
http://www.tme.eu/ch/details/57bygh804/e-motoren/#

Maybe you can get the Nema 17 or Nema 23 Stepper Motor?

The Arduino Uno R3 is about $28.-
The Arduino Motor-Shield R3 is about $27.-
And my Motor from TME was Euro 57.-

Then I had to get a Zeovit Reactor to test my DIY.
So I got one from www.fish-street.com
http://www.fish-street.com/fsz_zeoli...oating_reactor
The one for $95.-
I must say it is a very nice Reactor.

New Video!!!

With new Code

[tony73]

very good Mike, very interesting

[LOLLO77]

Very good

New code?

[Bryopsis]

Tried adding a virbrating pad of some sort underneath it?

That's an awesome reactor for sure!

[dartier]

I agree, the stepper driven Zeovit reactors work great.

I went with a A4988 stepper driver and used 2 Arduino mini's. One of the minis runs GRBL and the other is a glorified timer and serial source to send the GCode instructions to GRBL. I know, a bit overkill.

The most challenging part was mounting to the existing shaft, well that and being too optimistic about the size of the motor that would be required. That is the reason for the 2 mounting plates.

sweet idea tanks for sharing.

[jowenteo]

hi,
are you able to guide me how to connect the motor from tme to the motor shield board ?
thanks in advanced .

[coral102]

Awesome! Well done! Thanks for your sharing mate!!!

[JUAN REEF]

I just order the Arduino uno r3 plus the motor shield r3, would you please guide me through the electrical connections. Thank you.

Would you share the diagram of all electrical connections. Thanks. JUANREEF

Trying to maybe construct this Zeovit reactor but one of the parts are now discontinued. Just bringing the thread back in the hopes someone has better instruction or has built this reactor.

[dartier]

Which part are you lacking?

I actually found the r3 motor sheild on Amazon. So I'm going to continue on this adventure to build this reactor. Going to try and do a guide on this with a little more in depth step by step. Thanks though.
