Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
DaOld Man:
Thanks Koz319.
How does everyone feel about making this topic a website?
I am just getting started. I still need to do the monitor mechanics.
(I will probably copy what you did Koz319, as close as I can anyway.)
This thread could get extremely long over time.
I liked your drawings, they are simple and to the point.
I didnt see the part about the pull down resistors, but I have a bad habit of skimming over the type if there is eye candy to look at.
csa3d:
As I have shared interest in this topic, I'm definitely excited about all the forward progress, including someone in the software forum getting started on a MALA plug-in for motor rotation. Keep it up, and let me know if I can ever help with anything.
I do however, think that if you guys decide to take this into a website format, you should see if Saint won't host the images or something, so the information never vanishes.

*edit* The Mala plugin refered to earlier is this one by Ede for clarification

I totally agree. I'm probably a few weeks (months?) away from attempting this but when I do I plan to document it as sort of a "Monitor Rotation for Dummies" or something...
DaOld Man:
I was just killing some time scanning ebay, and came across this firebird headlight motor:
Clicky here
EDIT: The above link is no longer available on Ebay. Just search for firebird headlamp motor.

not a bad deal for 21 shucks (inc shipping).
It looks like the first one I have.
There are several of these motors on ebay, if someone needs one for their rotate project.
Just search for "headlight motor".

Good work on this DaOld Man.
I really wish that I could attempt something like this, but I am so scared of the back of monitors / tv's, and the associated danger of death that I don't think that I ever will.
Good luck though -- its got to be THE coolest cab modification ever! :cheers:
