Hello! We can help you design and implement this Arduino Nano project with precise PWM control tailored to your hydraulic valve application. Our team has hands-on experience working with Arduino-based control systems, including PWM signal generation, timing logic, and safe interfacing with external loads such as coils and actuators. We would configure two independent PWM outputs running at a stable 200 Hz frequency, with a software-controlled ramp-up time adjustable between 0 and 10 seconds. The system would be triggered by a manual switch input, and the firmware would handle smooth signal ramping to avoid sudden current spikes that could stress the hydraulic valve coils. While the Arduino itself cannot drive 2 amps directly, we would design the control logic assuming the use of appropriate external driver components to safely handle the required current per channel. Our approach focuses on clean, well-documented Arduino code that is easy to adjust and extend if needed. We can also advise on suitable hardware components and wiring considerations to ensure reliable and safe operation in a hydraulic environment.
