Project in the Wings.
by John
While finishing the triple expansion steam engine, I have decided on my next project. Actually, based on my past history of procrastination with the triple, I might even put aside the triple to start on this one.
Reading this article in “Model Engineers’ Workshop” gave me the inspiration to convert a rotary table to electronic control.
So I have commenced accumulating the bits and pieces…
And some items of kit. Each under $20AUD.
I have disassembled the rotary table, and ordered a 12/8mm coupler. I am waiting for the coupler before I start designing and cutting the main part to be fabricated which is the piece which joins the stepper and the table.
Also ordered a box to contain the electronics and switches. Havn’t yet thought about cables, joiners etc.
I want to experiment with Arduino, too. Check out:

A magnifier soldering station is very useful whether you have an Optivisor or not. Looks like lots of fun ahead.
