  • Here is a demo of the Rotating speaker cabinet that you can use with a small practice amp. It has a Standby mode "non rotating sound" and choral mode "slow speed 45 RPM" and Tremolo "high speed 340RPM". The speeds all slow change from one to another. To keep cost low the rotating drum is 3d printed as are the pullies and the motor mount. The motor is a standard stepper motor from the 3d printer and to drive the stepper motor I am using a TMC2208 silent stepper driver and a simple custom 555 timer circuit. A remote foot switch can be added to get full control remotely.
    The cabinet runs on 12 volts DC, "9 to 15 volts rang", draws less than 300ma so you can run this on batteries if you are mobile.
    Here is part 2 of the build. The 3d printed parts.

    That's pretty cool. My first thought was an RC brushless outrunner, standard speed controller, can work with a standard servo tester then i guess; but Trinamic and stepper is fine too.

    • @Robothut
      @Robothut  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes that was my first thought as well but this costs lest and the ramp up / down speed control is simpler. So stepper motor and drive it is.

    @MontyRocket 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just made one of these using a small dc hobby motor with a controller that lets me run it from 1.5 to 12 volts in 1.5 volt increments. I used the spindle in the base of an old harddrive as the mount for the hand made wooden drum. And a rubberband for the drive belt. Lol. I use a Roland Cube amp or a home made speaker cabinet with an old Champ head that i made back in 1978 when i was in high school to drive it. I think I might try using your stepper motor controller combo in my next build. I thought of 3d printed drum but don't have access to a 3d printer.

    • @Robothut
      @Robothut  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very cool build using what's on hand. There are lots of schools and even library's that have 3d printers. You might find some one that will print the part for you for free.

    You really are a genius. I am seriously impressed with this finished result here.
    I am going to watch the build videos, but I unfortunately don't own a 3d printer.
    I'm curios if you could build a pedal I've been wanting to have. It's a pedal like a wah, or a volume control, but it has a wire out the top that turns. The bendable turning wire can turn the knobs of your regular guitar pedals.
    I've always wanted one. It gives a way for you to raise or lower an affect without having to bend down mid song.
    I completely forgot the name of them, but if you would be interested in trying to build one, let me know, and I will dig up all the information I can for you.
    They used to sell these awhile ago, but for some reason the demand wasn't that high. I have no idea why, I think it is.an amazing tool to have.
    Regardless, I hope your staying safe out there.
    I'm super impressed with your skill.

    @lw1391 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Okay weird question, but if the slow speed is 45 RPMs and the fast speed is approximately 340, wouldn't the easiest way to achieve those speeds be to put the horns on top of an old turntable? That should give you both of those speeds plus 78 as well.
    I absolutely love how you used an existing amp without needing to modify it at all. Great design work!

    • @Robothut
      @Robothut  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @keithclark486

    Here's how I made my Amp sound like a Leslie. I took the battery out of my lawn mower and stuck it in the back of my Amp
    Used a power converter ' connected it to the battery and power up the amp ,
    I then took a jump rope and tied it around the Amp handle and hoisted it up in the air
    I then used a wireless system from the guitar to the amp ' I then twisted the Amp round and round until the rope was tight and then let it go and started playing.
    Wasn't exactly the Leslie sound but was kinda close.

    If you want to use just one amp onstage it might be an issue when the Leslie was turned off. It seems like the amp becomes a one trick pony when it’s laying on top with the speaker pointing down.
