A scanner for you Zx81/Specturm.[WIP/DIY]
Re: A scanner for you Zx81/Specturm.[WIP/DIY]
For the AMSTRAD CPC 464/6128: (using a photodiode BWP 21 Telefunkel or a photoresistor = 2 colors)

ATARI ST Card (article's PCB):
Kicad v.6 & Gerber files: Note:
In the article, the component's side in the top view is false.
The photo gave the right component side.

The sound of a picture challenge:
Simply link the resistor output on a cheap PC USB sound card (2$) to avoid burning the main inboard sound card...
The positive or negative low frequency signals can destroy the sound card !
The voltage had to be less than 5v to avoid to saturate the sound card recorder.
Don't bother the synchro connection.
Save your picture in WAV 16bits/44khz format, and post this zipped wav file on this tread/on a temporary host server.
Who will guess what the photo represents?

Motor speed:
Cylinder max speed turn around 1 rotation per second.
The speed variator can reduce this speed at -1/4= 0.75 rotation per second.
1RPS(Second) =60RPM(Minute)
Cylinder to the motor:
40touth/8tooth= 5 multiplier.
Motor to the cylinder:
8tooth/40touth= 0.2 multiplier.
60RPM x 5= 300 RPM
300 RPM x 0.2 =60 RPM= 1 RPS on the cylinder axe=1 RPS on the head moving axe.
Motor spec.: MOTOR DC 300RPM 3v. (1.5vx2 battery)
GA12-N20 DC 3V 6V 12V Micro Metal Gear Motor Gear Wheel Gear Motor 30RPM 50RPM 60RPM 100RPM 150RPM 200RPM 300RPM 600RPM 1000RPM
8 tooth gear hole 5mm with shaft key: (STL & Winds3D)
