Camera Panning using Floppy Drive Stepper

[MagpieSound50]

Really great, congrats!!!! :D

I am using your demo software, checked the connections and i discovered, that I connected the "b drive part" to the ground, is it a problem?? Could you also tell me some "delay" and "number of steps" options, because the motor doesn't wanna move :(

Please, send me the software you have useed to control the floppy. I made a program in visual basic 6 but it's too slow (about 15 steps peer second).My email adress is coliscip@yahoo.com and my yahoo messenger ID it's: coliscipThank you in advance!

interesting

[ZXRulezzz]

you should do that with 2 stepper motors from 5.25 drives, to move camera in all directions =)

And you can use 3rd one to make some kind of autofocus =)

Wow.. how to control the floppy as you please?

[ashishrd]

I have an article on controlling floppy drives..but youtube doensn't let me to post a url. Do a google search on controlling floppy drives with a parallel port..and you'll find my CodeProject article. :)

You need to leave a way for people to get into touch wit u, i tried making a stepper motor work by using ur method, all i got was a very bad shock up my arm and a stepper motor that won't stop spinning. If you could help it would be great.

easy. take the floppy drive apart and connect that plastic on to the raciprocating arm inside floppy drive. pretty funny tho

[ProgramerGirl]

haha, cool! tell me how you did that!
