Computer controlled Motor?
Hello everyone,
I never made a robot or such thing. So I have no idea about everything, I mean mostly.
And I'm trying to build a rotating cylinder with some small screens in side. In fact, it is a zoetrope with screens inside.
Anyway, I had a hard time to find a thing to connect all the wires to the rotational structure from the base. and I found thing called slip ring by the moog or the mercotac company. So one issue is down.
Another thing is a motor. I don't know what kind I should get. I think it's going to be about 14 inches (diameter) and 8~7 inches(height) probably wood. So it's not that heavy and drive it less than 1000 rpm?
The major issue is that I want it to control the rpm of motor by computer(usb or serial connection).
1. What kind of motor do I want?
2. How can I connect the motor to computer in order to control the rpm?
It would be great if anyone can recommend specific parts for this.
Thanks a lot and have a great weekend~
