Hi Imran,
For me the system has to be wireless for easy instal. My thoughts on machine turn-on detection was a accelerometer mounted on the machine with a Bluetooth transmitter.
Where would you put the accelerometer? ?One of the pulleys? ?Any products like that out there?
This transmitter (there can be multiple of these) coupled with an aurdino based Bluetooth receiver that controls dust collector (this can remain RF as mechanism is already in place) and blast gates could make a wireless system hat should be easy to install.
This actually sounds nice. ?If you need programming support I can help.
Regards,
Denis
