We are trying to design a pedal depressor for a music mayor pianist that is disabled. The main idea is making a biteswitch using a transmitter and receiver and have an actuator press the pedal. We already got a bite switch thanks to a member. we are looking for a transmitter and receiver and already ordered an actuator based on the force needed, length timing etc.
The serious thing is that we don't know anything of automation, and little of everything else.
We are totally blank on this subject, but I'm really willing to learn about everything, if you could instruct/help/advise/anything i would appreciate it a lot!
We need to make it go certain length, and while the switch is still pressed keep pressing the pedal, when the switch is released make it go backwards.
What is the output from the switch, discrete or binary?
How much funding do you have for this project?Does any of you have any experience in electronics construction, measuring, soldering, etc?
