It is direct drive (or I should say it will be��) hope to finish the control side of things this week and then make the motor mount when the coupler arrives. I have seen lots of good ideas and have tried to in corporate all the bits I like and more
Which includes a power feed mode and all good electronic projects need LED’s. It has got to the stage where I am running a mega and nano arduino to drive the system.
Will post when happy with controller.
