Code Examples

### Example 1: Linear Actuator using Arduino and Stepper Motor

In this example, we will use the 384mm Stainless Steel Rod as a linear guide for a stepper motor-based linear actuator. We will control the actuator using an Arduino board.

Hardware Requirements

384mm Stainless Steel Rod with 8mm Diameter
 Stepper Motor (e.g., NEMA 17)
 Stepper Motor Driver (e.g., A4988)
 Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code
```c++
#include <Stepper.h>

// Define stepper motor pins
#define STEPPER_DIR_PIN 2
#define STEPPER_STEP_PIN 3

// Create a stepper motor object
Stepper stepper(200, STEPPER_DIR_PIN, STEPPER_STEP_PIN);

void setup() {
  // Initialize stepper motor
  stepper.setSpeed(50);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the actuator forward
  stepper.step(100);
  delay(500);
  
  // Move the actuator backward
  stepper.step(-100);
  delay(500);
}
```
In this example, we use the Arduino Stepper library to control the stepper motor. The 384mm Stainless Steel Rod serves as a linear guide, allowing the actuator to move smoothly and precisely.

### Example 2: Robot Arm using Raspberry Pi and Python

In this example, we will use the 384mm Stainless Steel Rod as a link in a robot arm, controlled by a Raspberry Pi using Python.

Hardware Requirements

384mm Stainless Steel Rod with 8mm Diameter
 Raspberry Pi Board (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4)
Servo Motor (e.g., SG90)
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Define servo motor pin
Servo_PIN = 17

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up servo motor pin as output
GPIO.setup(Servo_PIN, GPIO.OUT)

# Create a servo motor object
servo = GPIO.PWM(Servo_PIN, 50)

# Set initial position
servo.start(0)

try:
    while True:
        # Move the arm up
        servo.ChangeDutyCycle(5)
        time.sleep(1)
        
        # Move the arm down
        servo.ChangeDutyCycle(10)
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    # Clean up
    servo.stop()
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
In this example, we use the RPi.GPIO library to control the servo motor. The 384mm Stainless Steel Rod serves as a link in the robot arm, allowing it to move and perform tasks.
