Design - Arduino

Serial Communication

• ୨୧・PySerial send commands to the Arduino, instructing it on how to control the stepper motor.
• ୨୧・Commands from the computer control the stepper motor.

Stepper Motor Control

• ୨୧・Four digital output pins (portIN1 to portIN4) interface with the stepper motor's driver

Data Processing

• ୨୧・The Parse_the_Data() function extracts and parses parameters from the received string

Motor Operation

• ୨୧・Loop continuously checks for incoming data.
• ୨୧・Parsed parameters determine motor speed, angle, and direction.

Parameter Conversion

• ୨୧・Received parameters are converted for motor control:
• ୨୧・Speed is converted to a delay between steps.
• ୨୧・Angle is converted to the number of steps required for rotation

Sending Data to Serial Port:

• ୨୧・sendData: Sends motor control data to the Arduino.
• ୨୧・low_pass_filter: Smoothing motor speed changes.
• ୨୧・Visual feedback through the GUI: Clockwise/Anticlockwise buttons, Speed (RPM) sliders, and and angle (deg).

Motor Control Functions

• ୨୧・stepper_Anticlockwise() and stepper_Clockwise() control motor rotation.
• ୨୧・Direction and step count determined by received commands.

GUI Integration:

• ୨୧・Constructs a Tkinter window and designs GUI elements.
• ୨୧・Tkinter: Assigning Functions to Buttons
