...& I still can't get this Mattair board to program. & I forgot to put heat shrink tubing over the resistor before I'd soldered both ends--a little hot glue made an ugly but workable fix. I have pre-programmed boards on order coming. & heres a pic of the motor that'll rotate the monitor, with wires soldered on. |

Omg, more progress. Got the motor mounted, assembled the driver board. My new soldering station made this wayyy easier....I learned the hard way that a butane iron & lead free solder do not make a good combination. I'm working on the parallel port connection & looking over the program provided by weisshaupt--thanks to him again. Hmmm...my pics didn't upload....I suppose I should put them in the appropriate thread & paste a link here.... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,159740.640.html#lastPost |

Hi all, yes, believe it or not, I'm working on Legacy again. I've actually got a lot of the wood cut/sanded/primed/painted. I've built the bulk of the box where the controls will live. I'll post pics later. I've encountered another problem with the rotating monitor. I gave up on trying to automate the rotation--despite weissaupt's wonderful & much appreciated help, I could not get the program to work. I decided to motorize the rotation but drop the automation--a switch will drive it. & I simplified the motor--I saw & am trying a microwave turntable motor. Got it mounted nicely, powered & tested it. Discovered that a weird connector that came with it is actually necessary for it to work. & then I added the monitor to it, & discovered that if any resistance is applied at all, the darn thing stops & tries to rotate in the opposite direction. Here's the motor I'm trying to use, & the odd connector. If anyone has any suggestions, they are much appreciated. |
