Understanding Arduino input and outputs I am a research scholar working on exploring the diffusion kinetics of metallic ions into substrate materials. To do so, I have to process 486 specimen combinations and it has been very difficult and practically impossible manually. Therefore I am attempting to automate my PG research using Arduino UNO.
To automate my reactor I estimate there would be 7 limit switches of lever type, 1 temperature sensor (K Type thermocouple), and 1 push button switch for start and stop. For the output, there would be 2 solenoids and 2 relays for stepper motors, and one relay for the alarm speaker. I would also like to log the temperature against time. Kindly suggest the feasibility of the automation using Arduino UNO. Kindly suggest other means for doing the same.
Thanks.
Yeah, you can totally make that work with an Arduino Uno. You would have 14 digital pins, as well as 6 analog pins that can also be used as digital pins.
