A winter project: Esp32 driven magnetic loop regulator

the Esp32 in wifi fer motor control in browser.

The ESP32-powered magnetic loop controller. 

The ESP32 enables Wi-Fi connectivity for browser-based stepper motor control, allowing precise tuning with both fast and slow forward/backward movements. An auto-stop feature prevents the motor from exceeding its limits, ensuring safe operation. Positioning is handled by a light barrier system, which accurately tracks and counts the current position. The interface includes direct frequency jump buttons (e.g., [1820], [1860], [1900], [3520], [3560], [3600], [3650]) for quick access to specific operating frequencies.

The Arduino software is fully functional, and the mechanical components were designed in Onshape and 3D-printed. This system supports a 2-turn magnetic loop antenna with a 2-meter diameter, optimized for 80m and 160m bands.

This system provides precise control of a magnetic loop antenna using a stepper motor. The interface allows users to move the loop forward or backward, make single steps, or stop the motor entirely. A key feature is the ability to enter a specific position, enabling precise tuning of the antenna to the desired frequency. The current position is continuously displayed on the web interface or app, ensuring real-time feedback. The motor is equipped with limit switches for safety, preventing movement beyond the defined range.

Next step: assembling....

When playing, you accept that a connection to the YouTube servers will be established.

another aim of this project was to test the use of ki in software development. chatgpt and claude.ai supported the arduino programming very well! Impressive!

Added a controller app written in flutter.

Fast Development, thank's to chatgpt ai!
