Ben Heck’s super glue gun: Gears, Arduinos and motor drivers

We’re making progress with the Super Glue Gun project, though we’ve hit a problem and we could use your help. To push the glue sticks into the gun, we need motor control. For this we’re prototyping with ATTiny24, Arduino, and TRIACs, all while different motors, such as steppers. It can be tricky, though. First the team must identify how much power motors use, and then learn to control them using an Arduino. Unfortunately, the team encounters some unforeseen consequences. Let us know if you can help over on the element14 Community.
