NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCED!\nV2 => https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3746101\nThis device is a computer-controlled coiling system for wrapping small cords, strings or wire. We required a reliable method to wind specific lengths of cord for sale in a package.\nThe rotary encoder keeps track of the distance wound with a closed loop system. This enables more foolproof operation, recovery if the spool hangs up or jams, and the ability to adjust the diameter of the coil without modifying the code.\nThere are two versions, one with arcade buttons and the other with a housing for 4 tactile buttons and an LCD display. I ultimately preferred the button style setup to save time programming and training the operator to use it.\nThe firmware is included for the button version, allowing for easy addition or removal of buttons and longer cord lengths at any time.\n\n \n \n Component List Hardware 2020 Misumi T-Slot: 8x 156mm 1x 175mm Bearings: 6x 623Z 2x 608Z Fasteners: 1x 8mm x 65mm Bolt A variety of M3 screws, washers and T-slot nuts Electronics 1x uxcell DC 12V 120RPM Micro Gear Box Motor Speed Reduction Electric Gearbox Eccentric Output Shaft https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KTYPD8U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1x Arduino Uno R3 Microcontroller A000066 https://smile.amazon.com/Arduino-Uno-R3-Microcontroller-A000066/dp/B008GRTSV6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1477505246&sr=8-3&keywords=arduino+uno 1X Signswise 600p/r Incremental Rotary Encoder Dc5-24v Wide Voltage Power Supply 6mm Shaft https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UTIFCVA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
