CVTool - Industrial Test Equipment (In-process)
CVTool = Cutter Verification Tool
This project started out of the need to test some equipment at work. As of now, the only real way we have to verify our length cuts, is to hand sort parts. This is very time consuming and costly.
So, out of this need comes the CVTool. The main design goals are: Portable, AC power, Ability to: Test Encoders, Simulate Encoders, Test clutches(in cutting equipment), test and verify line speed, and run simulated length testing. All of these tests are to be done while logging data. That's a tall order for one piece of equipment, but well within the Propellers abilities.
Hardware:
Propeller Proto Board USB
Hydra SD Max Storage Card
1GB+ SD Card
MEMKEY
4X4 Matrix Key pad
LCD Graphics Display 128 x 128
RTC Philips PCF8583P
Custom I/O Board
