Parkinson Heavy Haulage 9
Hi All
Happy new year Here's an update of progress at the haulage company enjoy. First though we needed a basic logo for the front of the office so here you go tell me what you think. All items designed an 3d printed by myself. Enjoy and as you can see the guys also complained about the lack of lighting for night jobs so had to fix that. Some detail on the lights 4 5mm Leds power is connected through the stainless shafts form the Lipo battery and Arduino with Infrared remote control Building has new light as well as a flashing beacon all controlled form the infrared remote control [ Wiring in the building Arduino nano and four relay block for switching Will post some pics tomorrow of it all inaction at the club thats all for now. Enjoy

Re: Parkinson Heavy Haulage
Awesome job on your loading dock! The work lights make your setup look that much more real

Thanks for you great feed back I had only thought of making them for myself and these two are the prototypes If there was sufficient interest I many be persuaded however I would want to improve the design further first to a pint where i'am fully happy with it

Re: Parkinson Heavy Haulage
Wow thats awesome! I'd be interested in a couple of the lighting arrays if you were to produce them, could you please explain the function of the Arduino nano in the building?
Cheers Stu |

Thanks for your positive comments. The Arduino Nano is there to process the command form the infrared remote control. You can switch the left or right lights and the beacon on the building on or off independently. Future expansion will be the remote operation of the door and possibly some sound effects and a display screen or clock. the two light towers also operate form the same remote though of using Bluetooth or a spare radio set but that would have meant carrying a phone or transmitter around and the simple remote or even a tv remote could be used is small and has loads of buttons so win win. I will think about producing the light towers I will just have to refine them a bit further first Many thanks Mark

Re: Parkinson Heavy Haulage
I'd be interested in a few light towers also. Can you post more photos in the dark interested I how much light they produce.

Re: Parkinson Heavy Haulage
really nice work. you have set up a nice work shop. the conversion of the pusher was well done.
i do seam to remember from my unloading days that the skids fit two across. maybe down here (lower 48) the skids are different? skip

I have attached some photos of the light in the pitch black of my workshop as well a basic lux reading on axis from about 1 meter away from the lights. I will look to complete my deign as soon a time and work allows and then provide an update, these were only intended for my use an i'am quite taken back by the interest in a nice way thanks. Hope this provide more info.

I'm really getting into the arduino range of stuff, after seeing your post I ordered a starter kit, its awesome! After a couple of hours of head scratching and watching tutorials I created a thermometer with lcd display, the possibilities are endless! My plan now is to make a system to fit in my digger with a small oled display in the cab which shows volts, amps, temp & oil pressure then sends that info to my taranis as telemtry a bit like the brixl system only a fraction of the cost. Running before I can walk I know and the coding is going to be a nightmare but we'll see.... Waiting for oled & volt, amp & pressure sensors to arrive. Stu |

Re: Parkinson Heavy Haulage
Hi Stuart
You read my mind that is just the route I have thought about taking. Yes there is an Arduino nano in each light tower a relay and a infa red receiver We should compare plans sometime soon we may be of help to each other in this endeavor. I too an new to Arduino and just finding my feet so to speak. I dont have any hydraulic equipment yet however I plan to develop the same type of system for telemetry. many thanks

Hi All
Stage one of the upgrades problem with the existing ramp. Few of the plant items having issue with access need to be sorted. So this needs to be fixed thus a new ramp need to be made.

Anyway a quick sketch from him and well you can see below.
