I mis-remembered it a bit. The electric spinning wheels actually just use an electric motor, they don't need a stepper motor. I can't convince my wife to spin her own yarn, so I haven't build one :) A web search for 'Arduino spinning wheel' will get quite a few hits. Here's one that explains fairly well how they work: http://www.glacialwanderer.com/hobbyrobotics/?p=79 |

Interesting site, if you want to build one, you could always spin the yarn yourself! !http://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/Bounce.gif Regards, Matthew. :D |

LOML would throw that at me tell me to go try again, the box would be ARPIA, the dial speed control :loco: just use a sewing machine foot pedal much easier. I like the space saving with 3 spinning wheels in the house now, 3 looms of various sizes from 2 shaft to a floor loom :Doh: plus the new build spinning wheel I am making. Mind you this is a safety net being I have two wood lathes and the ML7 :) |
