Thread: Automating reloading with an Arduino

Has anyone done this? I am assuming a progressive press like a Dillon 650.

I've written a few scripts for arduinos but I've never had the need or equipment to try automated reloading.
Would the arduino just control the movement of the handle/press and the projectile placing?

I'm going to do this to make an auto case loader, In my mind it's much simpler to do with an Arduino than with mechanical linkages. Then will expand it to cover most stages, like powder check and round counting

Ive wanted to learn a bit about electronics for a while so Ive ordered a kit and some bits, thought I'd start by weighing to detect squibs at the end and go from there. However finding a 20gramme load cell seems impossible so far. :/

"addons" like the powder check are expensive, just seem way to over-priced
