A DIY guitar pickup winding machine built on ATmega8 by Davide Gironi:
A pickup winding machine it is used to wind a guitar pickup.
The core of this project is an ATmega8.
It features:
- wind counter
- slow startup
- automatic stop
- configurable motor speed
- configurable winds
- 2 directions
This winder has an LCD display that will show
- the current motor direction
- the rotating speed of your pickup
- the total and current wind counter
Check out the video after the break.
Great build!
Suggestion: hack a bait casting fishing pole for the Pawl Worm Drive assembly and drive it from your motor with a belt/gear… this will allow the windings to spool evenly, unattened (assuming you can find the correct width assembly that matches the pickup, etc.)
