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)
