I guess it's also possible that not all friction pins are alike (might be interesting to test this...) (...) (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Automatic synchro drive
 
I'm glad this little model is generating so much excitement! ;-) (...) Interesting to hear I'm not the only one to experience these issues with turntables! (In a second-hand technic set I once bought, someone had inserted ball bearings inside the (...) (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I finished mine just now (made a video but can't find the cable to connect my PDA to the computer) and a ran into similar issues. I lubed my turntables after reading your comment Philo, and it improved things slightly, but I also found that (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: Looking for sound effects
 
(...) I know is imposible to say how many clicks per second you year if is like 25 i meant something to give the effect or beliebe that each part has a sound. Same goes for video how can we tell 25 fps or 30 or 50 fps without a computer anyways. (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for sound effects
 
(...) Try this one: (URL) even though the motor actually starts in the end. It's not my sound, but it is very like what happened to me before Christmas when the battery finally gave up in my Skoda Octavia (-00). Nine years of service from a car (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Automatic synchro drive
 
(...) Yes, there are many possible sources of frictions differences, especially in the turntables, quite sensitive to assembly (I had to lubricate two of them). After making sure that all parts were correctly aligned and fully plugged, it worked (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: Looking for sound effects
 
(...) I'd love to see (and hear) the result when finished! If I understand it correctly, you want 25 very short sounds per second. Maybe clicking sounds or something in its likeness? In that pace, I think it would be impossible for the human brain (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Automatic synchro drive
 
(...) Cool! It feels strange to see it in someone else's house! :-) It looks as if you added some extra gears on the top. Is that just for decoration, or to increase the friction to prevent unwanted turning? (At one point I decided I needed that, (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: Automatic synchro drive

  Re: A fast NXT 2.0 ball sorter
 
(...) Thanks ! (...) I initially thought I would have to do that, but actually in this design the speed limitation comes from the ball splitter mechanism (in the NXC version it runs full speed without stopping). I have not tried with alkaline (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.robotics)
