Filacycle extruder
The algorithm used to solve the problem.
The code was loaded onto Arduino Mega 2560 board.This program was designed to command the cooling capacity of the fan cooler that was supposed to cool the filament extruded from this system.It was supposed to control both barrel temperature and automatic filament diameter modes, the auger motor and the puller motor, the cooling fan and the filament temperature sensor, the guide motor and the spooling motor, and the liquid crystal. However it was not running our extruder system, so we edited, developed the main experimental code of the program and adapted it to our needs so that it could run our system. In fact, we deleted some parts of the original main experimental code and added other parts so that the code could only command the liquid crystal, update the screen, command the auger motor, command the peltier cooler instead of fan cooler, command the thermistor for peltier cooler, and command the diameter sensor. One of the parts we added was ordering the system to match the diameter of the filament extruded with the desired diameter by increasing or decreasing the speed of the puller moter. Another part was commanding the Peltier cooler to freeze the filament extruded as soon as the power is switch on automatically. this part was also ordering the thermistor related to the peltier cooler to report on the temperature of the peltier. Unfortunately, the resulting code was not able the run the system as expected, so other changes needed to be done in order to run the project successfully. We re-initialized Pin variables, and other new variables,
