    Machining a cylinder head

    We used to have a guy local to us doing heads from his shed, mainly motorcycle but car heads too. His tool of choice was a diamond cupped wheel for small corrections (with flood coolant). you can also get these large enough to cover the width you need. he did this for years before suffering lung...

    Electronic Dividing Head using the Arduino

    Chuck my rotab has a 90:1 wormdrive which would work out well for this. Chances are i would go with a worm drive on a scratch build as well. With the driver at 3.5amps and use full volts, run bipolar on the windings and keep micro steps down to a minimum then the holding torque should be...

    Electronic Dividing Head using the Arduino

    Thanks Chuck, code now loaded wires connected to test. Just need to decide whether to mangle up the rotoary table or build something from scratch, the later probably being the bet for now. Thm:

    Electronic Dividing Head using the Arduino

    Thanks Chuck that helps me out a lot. The Reset/ Sleep connection is that just specific to pololulu driver? i.e i don't need to worry about that with my TB driver? Thanks Paul

    Electronic Dividing Head using the Arduino

    Hi Chuck, i think i have missed something from the thread. Do you have a wiring diagram for the driver to the Arduino Uno. I have the sainsmart setup and single axis tb6560 driver. Thanks Paul
