I have limited knowledge of C++ from uni as part of my Elect Eng degree, and to be honest only really the C, in C++ syntax.
Anyway my mate?s dad has a small sunbed business, as in he makes them!! He?s recently started making those spray tan booths too. He needs a control process implemented into the spray booths which will allow the shop owner to set up a the correct spray booth settings for the user, and also a button for which the user can press once they are in the booth to begin the process.
Basically all it does is spray your face, your body, and your legs, but the shop keeper must be able to pick how long you want each part of your body to be sprayed for.
Face = anything from 5-15s
Body = anything from 5-15s
Legs = anything from 5-15s
He?s already went out and bought some hard wear, 16 I/O card for the computer etc, and input interfacing hardware for the booths.
I told him I could have done it for him no probs using a PLC, but anyway, how hard would it be to design a program to drive it,
Bearing in mind I have only compiled C programs and ran them in DOS!!
Should I tell him to find someone else! It would be nice to help him though
