Starting monitor rotation project

<< < (7/7)

raph:
Well, my next project was actually a lengthy post with photos and parts list for the servo approach, so that everyone would have that as a resource. :) I actually wrote it all out last night, and then the forum logged me out when I hit post, and I lost it!

I think that most of the issues I and others had with servos came, in the end from making the surrounding hardware build, more than the servo itself.

Here is a video of the final result btw:

After this, next steps are a redo of the CP rather than use the stock Tankstick... I'd like to have LED buttons that light up per game; bezel art; and control panel art. And I need to route out some space on the top panel so that it will actually close over that marquee monitor.

DaOld Man:
Great job raph!
I read your write-up, excellent! And we appreciate you wanting to share your trials and discoveries with everyone else.

Yeah, I think all of us old timers have been bit by the "my post got deleted" fiasco. I think this site logs you out after a while of no activity, so that happens when you make a long writeup.
Trust me, I have felt like throwing the computer out in the yard more than once because of that! It would be nice if it asked you if you wanted to save before it logged you out.
I have found the best way to avoid this is that before you post, highlight everything you wrote, right click and copy.
Then if you get logged out you can start a new post and just paste.

Again, great work and good writeup. I watched your video too, nice quick rotation.
Looking forward to your next project. (Or is this one complete now?)

raph:
No, I have plenty more mods to keep doing to this cab. :) thanks for stickying the post!
