I added lots of tests to the code (and found a bug), refactored some more and added more documentation.
I completely disassembled the rotating table and am trying a smaller stepper motor with the esp32duino. I will need to design and print some parts.
In the mean time I'm starting with a build description / bill of materials. It can be found here: https://github.com/TomKamphuys/NFS/blob/feature/arcs/Documents/BuildDescription.md
Still very rough though.

I'm slowly rebuilding the setup and taking a lot of pictures for a build description in the mean time.
I've been looking for a way to limit the amount of wires, especially to the rotating part. First I tried a powerbank with PowerDelivery that is capable of 20V over USB together with a small 'decoy' to negotiate 20V and power the servo's with it.
For some info, use these search terms: pdc004 pd 20v
I ordered some, but got some fake stuff as far as I can tell.
So I switched and ordered two small PCB's that have a 5V USB connection for the ESP32 boards and take 20V as the input, which I also need for the servo's.

Those who watch closely might notice that the small PCB is upside down, but luckily the voltage is 20.2V, so the only thing giving it away is the '.' .
I'll continue slowly 🙂
Over on audiosciencereview someone is looking into the fitting and reconstruction using python.

could you please put up a link to the audioscience forum? I cannot find the thread you mention. thx!

I played chess as a child and teenager. My interest in it waned when I beat my father for the first time.....I haven't been working on the table top NFS for the last months. To be honest, I just didn't feel like it. I kinda proved it could be done. It's one of my pitfalls to loose interest at that point where others can seem to go on forever on the same topic.
I think that could be one of my weaknesses in other areas too.
Tom I'm following carefully, here and on ASR. I will be building it if the math is solid. And the interface is useable by a reasonably intelligent ludite like me.
