Reversible Counter for Winding

This software help for numbering the coil windings using an old, unused mouse.

Mouse wheel should be attach to the shaft with flexible spring.

This is source program. It can be used with Processing (Java 8) See processing.org !
Before else, is required to mark one point on the mouse wheel, then numbered the steps for one complete turn of the wheel. For this application is 24 steps / turn. For different number is a simple modification of source write in Processing JAVA 8.

Flexible coupling spring is used to transmit rotation from the machine shaft, to the mouse wheel.

For doing this spring you need a manual drilling machine, a 2.5 welding rid rod and steel wire 0.3-0.5 mm thick, 3 meters long more or less. Put the rod in the mandrel. Welding rod is used as support for winding spring.

For reducing winding time is used two speeds x1 and x2. When the coil it has more than 1000 turns is used x2 speed.
A good machine, that can be used, can be with one shaft x1 .

Thanks for watching.
