Yeah!!!
Rock and roll!

I like your tacho, CLaNZeR. Looks familiar.

Thanks, nyctuber, for the post.

You got to have a bit of fun

Yep the Shimpo Laser Tach sat there, as tweaked the bearings earlier and was doing Wind-Downs and sticking them in the Maybe lookup oneday folder.

Now using Optical Encoder on other Rigs which counts 720 pulses per revolution. More accurate than the Shimpo, but the Shimpo still good for basic stuff and wind-downs. It looking a bit battered these days must admit

Back to glueing these damm magnets this end grrrrrrrrr

See Mylow flipped again. He either seriously taking peoples comments to heart or looking for an excuse to get out again.

If the guy has something, he should be celebrating and getting it validated. I know the rest of us would.

Bloody frustrating must admit.

Cheers

Sean.

Bingo! You just solved my slow-speed problems. I forgot totally that I have a 3600 line rotary optical shaft encoder tucked away, and it needs minimal interfacing. Thanks!!

EDIT to add: By the way, have you found any configs that do as well as the control (no stator) condition on your M/HJ rig in rundown testing? I found one almost as good...

I would, and I'm sure most would agree!

Maybe he is, we haven't heard from him in a few hours. I guess we'll have to wait for the next "last" video. Or the next Examiner article by Sterling.
I guess I better get out all that cash from under my mattress...

Hey, where's Mr M?
Did he fall off the fence yet? That video wasn't easy, you know; I had to change the laws of physics in my basement kitchen...good thing it's reversible (oh, darn, I forgot to show that in the video...but come to think of it, neither did mylow in one continuous video--but I can. When mylow shows this, so will I.)
