    Great video, thank you! Is there a way to build this using the wiper delay system that a wiper motor uses in a car? I’d like to avoid the Adriano computer.

      Of course. As you can see from the Ford diagram though, even they use a GEMS controller. Using a 555 timer you can easily make a circuit that triggers the relays at a certain frequency, but that requires much more components and at the end of the day, more complexity. Again, we opt to use the Arduino because of its accessibility and simplicity in this design. As we move on to connect in feedback sensors, you will see the Arduino has everything we need to control the system

      @@geneyllanes8291 I have a GM wiper stalk that has 5 different resistance values used to signal or create delay within the BCM. I want to use this stalk with motor in older mod car...No BCM...how does this integrate to your Arduino design?

    Great video Gene!
    I have one question, that is if you are even still monitoring this.
    I am a noob but learning along the way. In your diagram dose the red power wire connect to the diode? And I assume the motor grounds to rhe Arduino.
    Thanks again, this project will open a coffin on display in a museum.

      :D No problem to ask. Yes the red wire (power) connects to the diode. This is a flyback diode circuit which gives added protection to the micro controller

    First of all thanks. This is awesome. Let's get this figured out and save some lives. It looks like you are controlling frequency not speed right? It would be important to be able to vary both the frequency and speed.

    • @geneyllanes8291
      @geneyllanes8291  4 года назад

      Yes, this is how intermittent functions have worked on cars for over 80 yrs, and 80yrs ago they were building ventilators with these motors. This electrical design based off of oxygen.protofy.xyz 's mechanical design and we do not have to alter the speed characteristics due to their cam design, we only have to alter the frequency. Can we also use the high speed circuit? Yes. The point here was that it can be done with 5 electrical components, no need for 3 boards and noisy PWM, and we can have all the control we need. For a varying speed + frequency, we could write a combo of using both the high and low circuit at varying frequencies

    So, I have 2015 Honda Accord ex-l. My wipers work but when I turn them off or just use it to wash my windshield they don't always return to home. They will stay upright or cover half of the windshield. What could that be?

      Hi there! In this design, no ! We chose to simplify it. To use it would be as simple as adding a second relay right after the first.

      Dear ​@@geneyllanes8291, you are supplying power for a short period of time to speed wire and then constantly to parking position wire. So how you make use of second speed when power is constantly provided to parking position and not to second speed wire? Motor will get speed of parking position (slow) instead of high speed (second speed wire), im I right?

    • @geneyllanes8291
      @geneyllanes8291  4 года назад

      This is a high torque, low RPM motor, meaning that is doesn't spin fast and it has incredible force behind it, making it very suitable for moving a wiper arm. I believe a hoverboard wheel rotates at a faster speed than this motor moves.
