% Models a pivot mechanism and converts stepping motor steps to pivot angle. The pivot has a stepping motor with a gear train that drives a lead screw. The lead screw is attached to the pivot platform be means of an arm. The resulting curve is nonlinear so the designer should pick zero to be in the most linear region. If no inputs are entered the routine will design a pivot mechanism. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [theta,k,b,l,x0] = PivotMch(k,b,l,x0,steps) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ k (1,1) Steps to meters of lead screw movement b (1,1) Arm length l (1,1) Pivot platform length x0 (1,1) Initial height of b attachment to lead screw steps (1,1) Number of steps ------- Outputs ------- theta (1,1) Pivot angles k (1,1) Steps to meters of lead screw movement b (1,1) Arm length l (1,1) Pivot platform length x0 (1,1) Initial height of b attachment to lead screw --------------------------------------------------------------------------
