These have been around for a while. Seen them go for 450 and up. Most of the automated presses have them.
I saw on YouTube a guy made an analog system. Cool. Back ground on me I am an aviation electrician and fully understand wiring and analog. I have school and some basic experience in 3M (micro miniature maintenance) but never went that route in my feild. I drew up the schematics for it.
Well one day a project for my press called for a Rasberry Pi. Not to get into tech talk but but my laptop couldn't do it. I needed to see two webcams at once. So I can make sure primers are seated correctly and cases are charged.
Well last year I saw a random article pop up on my Google news. An older gentleman made one for less than 200 bucks. It was a makers fair. For once Google spying me paid off. So I thought, if he can do it then I can do it. Down side is I have zero experience in Python programming so this is an adventure of Newby. He never posted his code so I am working from scratch.
Since I all ready had the PI it only cost me 40 bucks in addition supplies to get
This is the flow chart to show what I am trying to achieve started.
This is how I have it all wired. I dont have the LCD or the Distance sensor yet.
This the GUI (graphical user interface) i want to create.
This is the optional LCD I want to make. Incase a GUI isn't wanted or all one needed is a round counter and primer warning.
