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

Sorry just saw your post and checked the link. 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  :)
