I've been thinking it would be fun to have extremely precise control of a spiro. You could even do math with it, and dial up specific patterns! (like, #1 rotating at 80rpm, #2 at 160rpm #3 at 120rpm).
And, having the speed STICK is a concern, too. Even w/ PWM, regular DC motors drift around.
Would steppers do what I want? Or, even the 2nd thing I want (drift free speed). I realize the 1st thing will require software control.
I've never worked w/ steppers, and most of the info on them seems to be for very slow rotation (robotics and such) and when used for lasers, for actually stepping back and forth like a psudo-galvo. Will they work for fast but precise spinning?
Thanks
