Ferris Wheel Clock

Electronic Control Board

I'm having problems comming to grips with the electronics, as I feel some of the hole numbering are conflicting.

16 pin socket - 31:14, 31:7 & 27:7, 27:7 should this read 32:14. 32:7 & 27:14, 27:7?

Resistor 10K - 17:6, 17:10 - 17:10 is also the same as a link at 17:10?

Capacitor 0.01 - 16:6, 16:8 is also the same as a link at 16:8?

To cut track at 8:11 is also the same as link 8:11 does one cut the track at each side of the hole?

I would appreciate if anyone can advise me how I should proceed???

Martin

Just picked up this thread ...

Using the Search Box on he homepage, I have found one article

Can anyone please locate the others ?

Thanks

Martin,

there are actually a number of things that don't add up on that page of the build instructions - some of the component values don't match - for example the parts list doesn't call up a 1k resistor, but it's in the build instructions (substituted for a 10k), etc.....

If I have some time over the next week, I'll draw something up properly, and try to resolve that and a couple of other little niggles I've noticed. Mind, I haven't actually got as far as building this yet, so especially when it comes to the time constants, I might get it wrong as they likely have mechanical dependencies....

Youra.

Youra, I appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Thanks

Martin

David,

Unless we are simply looking in the wrong place .... With the exception of one article [linked in my previous post], these files seem to be unavailable.

Youra has informed me that he has the full set, downloaded when they were accessible. Understandably, however, he does not feel able to share these, because of the Copyright Notice.

If Youra sends the files back to you; could you please post links within this thread, so that we can all access them?

Many thanks

MichaelG.

Hi There

Links to the ferris wheel clock are in model making at the top tab.

None of the PDFs were removed, just the links.

You can find all the original PDFs for all the articles that were uploaded by searching on the home page as long as you know what you are looking for.

Try searching for PDF in the search box.

Allsorts may come up.

Can someone check all the links, Internet Explorer 9 locks up on most pdfs and I can't download them to check them.

regards David

David,

I've just downloaded all the files, and they are just fine (I used Firefox not IE...)

The magnetic clock articles are also there - many thanks!

I've tried using PDF (and .pdf) as a search term, and the only results I get are:

>>

• Converting CAD files to PDF
• Scanned pdf's of Martin Evans articles for the construction of Boxhill
• GWR Metro pdf copies of the orginal articles in ME

<<

A search on 'Ferris' does however pull up a link to the page with the PDFs.

Did the Ferris clock DXFs ever make it into the wild, as it were....?

Thanks again,

Youra.

David,

Found them ... thanks for the clarification.

MichaelG.

I see mention of DXF files for the Ferris Wheel clock, and while I can find the article PDF's fine, I cannot find the DXF's mentioned. Could someone please post a link to them or PM me.

thanks, Ian
