Great work Badmouth!
The rotation method is fast and smooth, great job!
Did you try dynamic braking on the drive? That will stop the motor a lot faster.

Cant wait to see this baby on the finished block! (Looking forward to seeing what you do with the CP).

I haven't wired it up to the parallel port and made it move via mrotate yet.  I'm waiting until it is moved upstairs to install the monitor, coin door, sound amps, etc.
The power supply is putting out 14.4v instead of the 12 that I tested with, so it may move a bit faster.  Not sure I want it to, but we'll see how it goes.

This week was spent cleaning everything in my basement bar that was covered in mdf dust as a result of working on this thing down there.  :angry:
I have other obligations this weekend, so it will be next week before there is any progress.  :-\
DaOld Man:
If your drive can handle PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), then you can slow the motor down quite easily with Mrotate.

Great great documentation and progress!  Can't wait to see this to the end!

Really loving the attention to detail and methodical construction going on for this one!  It's going to look amazing when done, a tip of the hat to you sir.
