Reminds me of the robot that came with Nintendo. He could pick and place disks around his perimeter at target locations just like that.
Very nice! :)

Wow! this would be great for Towers of Hanoi puzzles. Nice work!

I cant believe you dismantle it. Did you redesign it to make it work better?

@nophead Can you teach me to do that PLS ? I have an Arduino board so that's what I wanna tap into if possible. Again, I have been told so :D

Dude this great! I built something like this for old 5 1/4 floppies before the days of hard drives! I love it!! Brings back memories!!! Keep up the good work!

I have always dreamed to build jukeboxes but I havn't the necessary knowledge and specialized tools. I have a preference for vinyl (45 RPM) type jukeboxes than CD's ones. Now, with the PC multiple possibilities, I have discovered a particular one: the PDF Jukebox System (PDFJS) made on PDF multimedia format (a musical PDF document) with Adobe's audio-video embedding technology. I work also on Lamentia's WINCAB/DOSCAB projects for more real as a jukebox!
So how does it play them ? You hacked an actual CD player or you made it from a CD drive ? If you hacked a CD drive, you could help me, because I'm working on a CD changer as well, and I am most interested in making it out of an old CD drive.

@cristian3131,
I hacked the CD player. I put opto couplers across the switches so I could simulate a press and I took a signal from the motor to know when the disc had finished.

@nophead I see, so no IDE hacking, that's what I wanna do. Seems possible and I had been confirmed so, but I can't find anything useful yet, like where to plug the board or what code to write :(

@cristian3131, No not for that project but I have written IDE drivers for CDROMs at work. IDE is 16 bit parallel port. You send ATAPI command packets to talk to a CDROM.

The vertical axis was reclaimed from another project, I made the rest from scratch, more details at the url mentioned in the description.
