Interesting automated shop vac system

How to eliminate shop dust automatically with #Arduino. #DIY bit.ly/2ktOl09 by @torachitech
Set of tubes connecting tools to shop vac, detects tool powering up and opens a gate in the tube to route dust to the central vac.

Something that we plan to do , just finding the time.

If you fancy taking it on ?

Taking it on wasn’t what I had in mind but now you ask, it would be interesting.
I’d need help, especially when it comes to working with power but yes.

Don’t worry I will be happy to help, with anything that you are not happy doing, especially the 415volt parts

What are your skill sets?

Arduino/ programming, imagination and problem solving are probably most relevant skills.

Desire to do laser cutting, 3D printing, woodworking and to contribute are good drivers.

Presumably we start with a proposal, risk assessment and estimated budget do we?

It’s always been the plan so I would start by figureing out the budget.

Will pm you my number
