Stepper Drive Turn Table

I have installed two turntables using the 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and driver board driven by an Arduino Pro-Mini. These are indexed with the old MK1 Eyeball. The Arduino sketch uses the accellstepper library file found here: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/AccelStepper-1.53.zip

Cost is minimal.  The 28BYJ-48 Stepper motor can be found for under $2.00 and the Arduino Pro Mini also under $2.00.  These are post paid from China.  At those prices, order some spares.  Add a couple push buttons or a center off toggle for direction control. Add some male-male jumpers. Gears can be salvaged from old printers, or All Electronics usually has some gear sets. The stepper mptpr is aready geared at 1:64 for about 0.1 degree per half step.  If you are just starting with the Arduino Pro-Mini, remember to get the correct programming interface board.

Some good started information on the stepper and a starter sketch can be found at < http://42bots.com/tutorials/28byj-48-stepper-motor-with-uln2003-driver-and-arduino-uno/>

Total cost should be under $10.00.
