Genius! Did you try pinball switches? Some of them have a very long lever which would bend nicely. Check this website for some examples: http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=101&pg=1 |

I'm curious if this is residual momentum in the actuator (Mechanical) or a delay in the electronics setup. I can't speak for your particular motor driver under mrotate, but using the pololu motor driver the braking is for all intensive purposes immediate. So much so that I don't even need to soften the stop. I just have some pieces of felt there. Once the switch is tripped, BAM the motor brakes. Maybe the difference is braking the motor? Anyway, you should try your exact motor driver with mrotate to see if this still exists. Might just be something in your test rig. |

I epoxied nylon spacers to the monitor mount so the back of the monitor would clear the nuts and bolt heads holding everything else together. They happened to be about the right height to allow the cables to go between the monitor and mounting plate. I'd planned to use a dvi cable since they can be screwed into place, but the ones I had were too thick. It lives! The monitor only clears the right side and top by 5/16th of an inch. :o |
