Elevator CAN bus demonstration

After finalising the project on the matrix training course on CAN BUS training. I would like to build more on the experience on how that can be demonstrated on elevator system. Any help with the flowcode program with this setup will be highly appreciated

Hi Oluwatobiloba0000

I don't know the application that well
So I would draw an elevator with shaft in the 3D system panel of Flowcode and let the elevator go from top to bottom or from floor to floor. matching to the can comands.

Make a video with a screen capture program (Snagit or Camtasia).
If you use Camtasia you can record the screen and a webcam (about 25euro) with your demoboard at the same time and edit also the video.

regards

Stefan

Maybe need some turn...

Thanks for the contribution. I would like to know what the function of each node would be. Like from my example, node 1 is for LCD display and low fuel warning
Node 2 is for brake pedal switch
Node 3 is for brake light
Node 4 is for fuel sensor board


So in the case of elevator system, what can the nodes stand for?

Hi

First I think you need to do a bit of a paper planning.

List hardware that appears on the CAN bus that you have available to use (e.g. buttons / switches / relays / displays / whatever).

What features should the lift have (e.g. call buttons / door open/close / motor up/down / emergency stop / floor buttons / safety interlocks / etc). Once you have compiled a feature list then assign the hardware against such.

Regards

I want to use the adruino board In the picture attached to this to make a project where three switches will turn on three leds
1. The physical connection using the breadboard, resistors, switch and the arduino board
2. How the connection is made on flowcode
3. How the flowchart is designed for this project
