This week I made good progress on the zoetrope after a while of being gone. I did not do what I initially intended too which was to work on the electronics further because I tried to run the zoetrope but the motor wouldn't spin. I found out that is because the motor driver can't take input power from the 36v power supply and the circuit requires a 36v to 12v voltage converter before I can continue with electronics. So I was faced with the decision of starting my PCBs or starting the wood final version of the zoetrope and I chose the latter.
The LED housing I will cut out next week or tomorrow depending on how long it takes. Hopefully however by the end of next week I can move on to gluing and staining the zoetrope by the time the voltage converter arrives.
