DIY Coil Winder - with Arduino Mega and Marlin 3D printer firmware

Most of the channel subscribers won't be interested in this so you might want to skip it.

For others: This is another one of my crazy projects. I built this machine to be able to make parts for a totally different project. This machine uses stepper motors and an Arduino processor running Marlin 3d Printer firmware and a PC running Repetier-Host 3d Printer control software to send G-Code to the Arduino which controls movement of the machine.

The aluminum extrusion I used to build this machine is called V-slot. It's available from OpenBuilds.com. Be sure to check out their YouTube channel for some really cool projects:

A few parts may also have been purchased from Inventables.com as well. You can also check out their YouTube channel at    / inventables  .

The program I mentioned is called Gcoil and is free. However, the Gcode needed for this task is simple enough you can write it yourself assuming you have a basic understanding of Gcode.

I know some people will ask "what the heck are those coils for?". It gets complicated. In another project I'm building a stereo record cutting head, and basically those rods connect the drivers to the cutting stylus. The coils sit inside a magnetic field and generate a signal that is used in a feedback loop to correct frequency response errors.
