I am in the process of building a guitar pickup winder and have a few issues with designing a traverse mechanism to guiide the pickup wire onto the pickup as it spins.
I need the ability to have a guide which automatically moves from left to right for a given distance - anything from 10mm to not over 20mm and at speeds of no more than 1 cycle per second (adjustable speed and adjustable distance)
I am looking at a linear stepper motor and linear guide rail - my issue is with controllers - I dont want to hook up a PC just to control this motion - looking at controller boards they have the small switches to adjust the stepper amounts - would this suffice?
Thanks to anyone in advance who can help me with this - I just hope I am not wasting time on a design idea that wont work.
