Our friend Pete Mills sent in his latest project, it’s a DIY Guitar Pickup Winder. There have been quite a few DIY Winders build before but this one automates quite a lot of the steps.
“Here is a feature list:
-Pickup Winding with turn counting, RPM, ETA and auto stop
-Stroboscopic guitar tuner
-Ohm meter for coil resistance measurement
-Gaussmeter for measuring polarity and magnetic flux density of pole pieces
I decided to use an Arduino to control my guitar pickup winder. I figured it would be a good way to put it into use. I bought the thing years ago and have only used it a couple of times. It really just gathers (figurative) dust as was the graphic LCD I used here too. I was glad to put some inventory to use in this project.”
