Need leading by the hand

[trevora]

I have got it all together and can run table back & fore manually

So now need help putting a sketch together and tweaking

As needed to line up with tracks etc

 

List of hardware

Arduino Model Railway DCC Interface (www.dccinterface.com)

Arduino mega

57hs56 Nema 23 stepper motor

TB67S driver with 109AFTG chip

1604 ball screw (4mm per rev)

IR transmitters’ & IR sensor’s for limit stops and home

2mtr x 0.4mtr transfer table with 8 tracks at 48mm crs

Two tracks leading in one end

Two in line  the other

So train could run straight though

Have run dcc interface with dcc monitor

Have run stepper demo

Have run Ir sensors

So main thing is to incorporate all together

Setting up nine stops if my tracks are right

Or 16 if they need tweaking of spacing’s

OK so i have loaded Alex Shepards sketch and my transverser moves when i put 200 -209 and thrown/straight with my dcc handset (he had it for turntable so small moves)

I set the transverser using  the serail monitor and have home in the centre

 

each track is about 9600 steps apart  This is where i need help putting that in his sketch
