Linear motion generation

[Iassom95]

Hi all!

i would need some advice and help regarding the following project. basically i want to implement the lead-screw principle to convert rotary motion into a linear motion using a servo moteur and Lifa. as shown in the included picture there is a cariage fixed on the lead screw bar , so my goal is to enable this cariage to move back and forward on the threaded bar  by rotating the servo motor. i wonder if someone could provide me with a Vi that performs a similar task in order for me to get started. Thanks a lot.

What exactly do you need help with?  From the limited details that you have provided, we can't simply give you code and expect it to work.

What signlas are required to run your motor?  Are you expecting to have closed-loop feedback on the carriage position?  If yes, what is your feedback sensor?

What do you mean  by a servo motor?  Is this a RC servo motor that only has a plus and minus 90 degree range of rotation.  Or is this a continuous rotation RC servo motor?  If it is a RC servo motor then look at the servo example that comes with LIFA.  This example is an excellent starting point.

If it is some other type of servo motor then please provide the make and model number and a link to its data sheet.
