thanks for all your info so far guys, and brian if i could use a system that uses zero software that would be excellent as im a mechanical engineer and not really software, but as an engineer im trying my hand at everything + my tutor wants me to use this system i think
i think i can upload a picture to sho you what i need,
in the picture, you can see a round table, on the cicumference of this table there is 95 brass wood screws (this took along time)
the idea is that with the servo, i could place the first arm inbetween two screws, and after 11.5 mins the arm of the servo would rotate and the second arm would catch inbetween the next two screws.
i hope this gives you a better idea.
also the servo is not providing the drving force, the driving force come from an arrangment of bicycle chains and sprockets with a weight suspended from the top.
so essentially ther servo motor is there to stop the table from rotating to fast.
thanks again so far guys i hope this explanation and pictures makes things a bit clearer.
many thanks in advance
Conal.
