Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
DaOld Man:
You could be right on the pin not actually staying on for 1 ms, or off for 300.
I dont have an oscilloscope, so I dont really know.
Probably the best way to regulate the speed in this situation would be using a potentiometer on the motor leads, or perhaps in the H drive circuit.
I dont think I will need to regulate the speed in my setup anyway, I was just doing some research to see if it can be done, might be a good alternative to using speed reducing gears.
If the optos dont come in by the end of this week, I will place an order with a company.
DaOld Man:
I am still waiting for my optos.
I have ordered some more stuff from allelectronics.com. I went ahead and ordered some optos from them. I just dont have a good feeling about the ebay deal, since the guy wont answer my emails.

DaOld Man:
Drotate.exe:
It is for DOS only, but you can look at it in Windows, you just wont be able to turn on outputs.
Let me know what you think.
If enough people like it, I can write it again to be Windows compatible.
(The Windows version would need the driver Koz319 recommends.)

DaOld Man:
I changed the following screens a little:
Screen shot #1 is now displayed if you type drotate s at dos command prompt.
Second is printer port diagnostics (change the name a little, and added port addresses).
Third is I/O assignments.

DaOld Man:
I received my order form all Electronics today, and my 33 optos from ebay. Seems the post office had screwed up and been delivering my mail to the wrong box.
I will try to post some pics and prices later.
I did get some #25 chain, and a plastic sprocket, but the sprocket doesnt fit my motors shaft, so I may have to do a little rigging..
