so, this maybe a question that would better be served by reading all the wonderful documentation that our gracious host has put together ... but I was was wondering, are you guys using a strobe or something to calibrate the motor? If so, are there any cheap ones out there?

not another DIY project

this looks to be the same as the design I posted. It looks like the entire project will cost $10 or so 🙂
Speed controller_PCB (SB)
Is the Speed controller_PCB (SB) still available?
What would be the price including delivering cost to
Milan,Italy?

I used a one of my turntable record clamp that has a strobe marking on it as speed measurement device. Using a 60Hz flashing light source (like all normal incadenscent lamp) I can check that the speed is exactly 33 and 45 rpm. This strobe is good for 50 or 60 Hz.
Here the complete PCB ver 2.0 schematic.
Mikewong: Unfortunatly this groupd buy is closed and all parts are sold. If there is enough interest I may (with Greg help) start an other GB. This time it would be a simpler project with a lot less option: PCB/motor/pulley only. You take care of the rest. I'll keep your name on file and get back to you if we start an other GB.

I'm back from New York. Great holiday with the familly. We went by train. I took us 15 hours to get back to Montreal, Canada 
I managed to catch a bad cold but that's it.
Sent XAQ kit today. I'm waiting for the final payment for two other kits.
Greg will complete the pulleys anodization tomorrow and send them by courrier to me.
Asked Killowatski for the plates shipping cost. No reply yet.
I'll start contacting you for the shipping and latest options pretty soon.
Things should start to move smoothly from here as soon as I get all the parts to ship at last.
I just completed the draft version of the PCB assembly instructions.
I may be of some use to some of you guys...

Sylvain,
Did you recieve the plates yet? They were shipped priority mail, so you should have recieved them. They went out on the 28th of December. It shows they tried to deliver it to you 1 PM today.

Just got a card from the post office. I was not there when they tried to deliver it today. I'll get it tomorrow.
Thanks Guy.

It is too late, sorry. It was a custom job done at no profit for this Group Buy only by Killowaski.

Glad to have helped the group buy out. I learned a thing or two about writing G-Code for a large milling machine. Thank you Sylvain for sponsoring the group buy.
FYI.....The top plates were milled on a Haas VF-2
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
