Experiment #9 (update)
RoyalScam:
Like I said, tired eyes. I had thought the switch was meant to turn off power to the outlet in case of fault, not to apply power to the outlet in a fault condition. I got it backwards.

Just curious, is the reason you're turning off the monitor while it rotates because of magnetization issues (having to degauss more often) or something else?

No, Im using an LCD monitor, so degaussing is not necessary. On my last project I turned off the monitor while rotating (it was a CRT), and it's kinda neat to have Mala in the correct orientation when the monitor comes back on.
But the software Im writing (MRotateS, for the stepper motor), will have the option to leave the monitor on, and with the SSR setup shown in this post, I can simply flip the override switch on, to leave monitor on during rotation.
I like to leave my options open.
