Title: Automated restrictor plate rotation
Post by: Le Chuck on February 01, 2012, 02:46:39 pm

Since the board is now all things automated I wanted to get on and offer to help anybody wanting to work on an auto 4 way to 8 way project.  Lots of good info already, especially thanks to the advent of JoyChoose and our patron saint of all things that go round and round,  :notworthy: DaOld Man.  Also to get the thread rolling a bit I’m asking anybody that has done a project like this to post a pic of the mechanical setup and a link to any kind of a build thread so those wanting to get started can have a repository of examples.  Thanks!
