Another Rotating Monitor Cab.
Richie Rich:
Thanks for the positive replies and note the new avatar.
Oh and cornchip your Revolver Arcade Project is one of the projects I looked at that helped me decide to go with a rotating monitor.
Richie Rich:
Cornchip, the opening where the monitor goes is 27 inches wide and monitor discs are 26 inches.
It was a bear getting the monitor in the cabinet because I had to angle it in under the top area.
Now if can just find where to download the mala rotating monitor plugin.
Cornchip:
Check the following thread for Rotmala.zip posted by DaOldman or this post. I haven't actually tried it myself, so I can't tell you much about it. Pretty much every thing you'll be looking for should be in that thread.

DaOld Man:
I have updated rotmala quite a bit since that thread.
My latest version is called Mrotate2.exe.
This one allows you to easily setup the output and input pins you will be using.
Also you can set time limits, and use PWM (if your drive allows it).
Check it out, let me know what you think. It is finished, except for a few help files.
(mrotate2.zip).
Also, I have attached startcom, a program Loadman wrote to call mrotate2 from mala.
(startcom.zip). The setup for startcom is a simple text file, if you want to go this route I will post the two lines you will need to put in the text file.
You will need to place startcom in the mala plugins folder,
also you will need to set it to call mrotate2.
BTW, Looks like you are doing a fine job, I cant wait to see it finished.
Rotating monitors have always peaked my interest, and I dont think you will be disappointed.
Edited to include correct download for statcom.mplugin
Richie Rich:
DaOld Man, Thank You for answering my questions in the mala forum and for the files you posted here.
I think I'm getting close to getting this working.
One real quick question about the StartCom mala plugin you posted, When I extracted the StartCom.zip file there is a startcom.ini file but no StartCom.mplugin file. Should there be a StartCom.mplugin file in there?
I found a StartCom.zip file posted by loadman but it had an ini that pointed to mrotate.exe, can I just edit that ini to point to mrotate2.exe and use that StartCom.mplugin file?
Thanks
