DIY Hard Drive Scanner, I need help!

Hello everyone, I would just like to say that I love you guys and you've all been huge helps to me recently. But on to my Issue.

I've been needing some help in the past few days after attempting to DIY a HDD scanner using Wummi's method.

For Better Explanation, Please watch the video I made:

People keep complaining I say Umm A lot. My bad.


Any questions, just ask. I used rubber bands to help make the arms return to their original positions.

Using The program HeathCliff.

My Driver Delay settings are:
5"Step:200
10"Step:200
40"Step:500
Max. Edges:100

Will someone explain to me what these mean?

If you need any more of my settings or have any comments, please leave a comment! I want to see this work so badly!


Thank you all so much for your recent help, and I would love it if someone could help remedy my problem!

Also, For a permanent Lab Laser solution I am going to buy http://www.aixiz.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=1_23&products_id=94

I just had the little marker on hand, because the laser I'm using currently Isn't in a nice heatsink, which I am working on.

I am in no way an expert for this, but I think your biggest problem is the rubber bands. Try using some strong springs to set it to zero.

Good luck
