Hi all,

 

Just watched this on you tube. www.youtube.com/watch?=9ahoFHDQZgl

 

If the above link doesn't work, type in "indexing motorising kit for peco 00 turntable" on youtube. (sorry should have checked it workedbefore posting) Doh!

 

Cheers B.L.

Hi Beeman, Many thanks for sorting out that link for me. If you look back at some of my first posts you'll see I couldn't even work out how upload a picture!

 

Enough said and thanks again. B.L.

OK it looks quite smooth, but not to happy about the over shoot and then back tracking to line up.

So how is it done?

Re Gordon A's reply, a similar comment i put on Utube referred to that fact, seen similar a number of times on various sites, some USA,where stepper motors and no doubt involved electronics still do not achieve stopping accuracy, possibly due to the circuitry ?. I posted a circuit and article some time back http://www.rmweb.co....e__fromsearch__ I still have this in use, nothing could not be simpler and it WORKS, no need for stepper motors etc, the great advantage of it slowing before the stop position, and could be ideal for traversers etc. .I latterly used similar circuit on my VSU. Vids of the T/T in operation on Utube. Looks a good and well engineered job by BL, particularly as he used a toothed belt for the drive.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=830g93jADoo&feature=related

 

 

Which is the Best method to use, on a large diameter disc/pulley, but the stopping he has achieved not good. why bother with costly steppers and electronics when a suitable gearbox/motor drive is available for around a couple of squid, and expertise in electronics not required.?. Beeman.
