as far as the winder mine is built just a matter of swapping steppers over but had to keep the standard motors on for now  to much to do and never enough time   anyways lookin forward to this

anyone who is interested this program is for calcin a guitar pick up    you enter the width   the core depth the core width and the wire guage your using and it will calc the # of turns and resistance to expect also has a counter in it  that you wire to your serial  port

just stopin in  before i roll out but looks good so far benny   as far as the random step   maybe a time(# of turns)  or distance variable input to build  the randomness off or acess to both   set a base and then it builds the randomness on it

well heres the basic idea i will use for the machine will be gone for the next few days i have family going in for surgery but once thru the worst of it and back home i will get this built     the only other thing i need to add is a tensioner for the wire  so once back i will update     one thing that willl be real nice is controlling the speed of the wind with the puter : )   thanks much guys

i don't have a cnc winder setup at this time but i do have the things {motors ,drivers )   that i could build another one with  if your game on the code i would be more then happy for testing  and setting up a cnc winder   i guess the big things (for me ) would be bobbin size or fill area  # of turns   and the ability to "learn" the movement  or the option of random movement
another thing that would be nice is if i could enter the wire varibles  ohms per foot  wire size  and enter the amount of resistance i would like to wind and have it calculate the  # of turns  theres a guy on another site i hang on that wrote a calc/counter program but to be able to do it in cnc would be really really nice

howdy all just found this site   but also on the zone     one thought on this because i wind pickups also   is on the movement   if it works to where it starts at 0 then just steps the size of the wire to the end of the bobbin then back  to bobbin   theres a prob you will get more capacitance   and thats where the probs come in    for a pick up you need more of a variable movement  i guess what i'm trying to get at is a  random time for movement and random amount of movement on the winder i built it origanally had a cam for the movement and it gave about the same sound each time    to get different sounding pups i had to start guiding the wire by hand which did give me different sound  i guess if there was a  way for the cnc to let you teach the movement would be nice too  as you could  lay different pup styles and save the gcode for it
