DNA Dan:
I am still planning on trying this. I am waiting for the parts to arrive. Once I have everything built I will do a "mock-up" and post the results. |

I wonder if I could use it to give just a continuous signal? The way my monitor is set up, that is all I need. It would then just switch a relay on or off. Relay on would be vertical, relay off horizontal (or vice versa) --- End quote --- Check out this thread, using a selector switch to manually change the monitor orientation. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=110207.40 If you dont want to use a H drive, it can be done with relays. I have a relay exmple on here somewhere, I can find the thread and post a link if you want me to. --- End quote --- OH, I already use a switch: It self parks using this circuit. Therefore to go fully automatic using the vert/hor list from mame would only entail two signals: ON for one orientation, and OFF for the other (if I add a relay) |
DaOld Man:
Im pretty sure you can get one signal off the RS232 port without any pic chips or anything else. It will have to turn on a transistor that then turns on the relay. |

DannyGalaga, How do you control the speed of rotation? |

How did they do ANYTHING in the days before :D The serious answer though involves the same. Good old fashioned gearing to the right speed and end stops. In my case, because it's only a 15" monitor in a cocktail cab, the microswitches are strong enough to be the end stops (",) |
