Clinostats are usually used in biology for plants, cell cultures, and small animals such as fish.
1 OpenClino shall be robust to failures to not harm the animals or samples. 4 Openclino must be simple, accessible, and affordable, requiring no machining. 2 OpenClino should operate in hot and humid environments such as incubators. 3 OpenClino should operate as a clinostat or RPM.
At the moment it is a work in progress. I'm not an electrical engineer so this is 12v. Be careful with your electronics. At the moment it functions as a clino but not a true RPM. The motors can't start a new direction or speed independently. You can buy waterproof nema17s and have the electronics outside of the incubator if needed.
The code is work in progress, it requires the following:
- control multiple motors.
- acceleration.
- docs.
- Implementing the airbus algorithm for variable G.
