I spent all of yesterday and most of today so far researching Steppers drivers and controllers. There are so many options that it makes my poor little brain spin.
I did find a lot of Audrino solutions, but I am worse that terrible at programming. The closest that I come to programing is playing around a bit with LISP to create functions in AutoCAD.
Now don't this look like just what the Dr ordered? 7500 Rupee is equal to USA ~$106.74
I just need to add the motors, drivers and power supply, which are also available from the same place as a matched set. Then make a bunch of brackets and pulleys to fit it all together.
I have a digital torque meter that I borrowed from work, this weekend I will see if I can hook it to the the SG to measure just how much torque it takes to move things, so that I have an idea of just how much stepper motor I need for each axis. In the x my biggest concern is the starting and direction reversing for the x axis. the table moves asy enough that just the weight of the handle on the crank will always move the table while the handle drops to the bottom of rotation.
