DIY Turntable Drive (Video

[@PaddingtonbearNZ]

Fascinating concept, has my attention.😀

[@EsotericArctos]

This is fascinating. I don't think I have seen anyone else do this, definitely not on KZbin. I look forward to seeing how your PCB stator design turns out and if it can be even more accurrate than the current setup.

I agree, it is. I was kind of positively surprised how smooth the movement is, I expected more oscillations, particularly at stand still. The PCB stator is going to be very interesting. Right now I am looking into around 200 small coils along the circumference of the PCB. This relatively big distance from the center should give a nice torque, even the individual coils do not produce a lot of force. We will see.

Please continue this project

I intend to do so, not sure about the pace, though. Too many things going on at the same time.

Looking forward to seeing how this project develops Hans....a very interesting approach to turntable control.

[@IoTT]

If it is possible to make a PCB stator that gives enough torque, that would make for kind of a slick solution, I guess ;-)

I like the M5Stack line of products. This looks like another interesting application of their products. This might also be an excellent project to be controlled by the M5Dial. It could offer both a visual indicator of the turntable location and rotation while also an input, via the encoder, to select the desired end position. Looking forward to seeing this one progress.

I agree with this! Great project.

[@IoTT]

I agree, the M5Dial would be a nice option. I might consider that.
