I would plan on using this on the cabinet I am hoping I get the go a head to do for my job. I don't think I would need any of the extra features that Mrotate3S has, I'm not using them now. |

Are you going to try to use the actuator to turn the monitor? |
| darthpaul:
No, I have to go with the tried and true friction drive to turn that beast. |

Alright, a little progress to report: I got the relay drive built and it works like a charm! The drilled PC board I got from Radio Shack was a little hard to use with the relays I bought. The relay pins did not line up exactly with the holes in the board. I had to bend the pins a little, and the relays are slightly "cock-eyed", but it works good. Here are a couple of pics. First is the relay with the 9 pin comport connector laying beside it. Second pic has a arcade pushbutton laying beside it for size comparison. I will try to get together a parts list and cost, also a schematic diagram of this drive. I think this will be a simple and cheap way to go if your rotating rig does not need speed control. MRotate4 to be released very soon. |

And here is a quick and dirty hookup diagram. |
