    Rotary table indexer

    Hi, I built this last year but thought it may be of some use to others...

    It's basically a stand alone PIC based indexer for use with rotary tables, it's pretty cheap - can be put together for 50ukp or so, it outputs step and direction to a suitable controller (I used a cheap controller off eBay - see internal.jpg in pics folder).

    I built it to save using index plates and because I don't want to use a fully blown computer for simple indexing.

    Written in HiTech C and based on a PIC18F452, source is included for the curious amongst you - please read the document 'legal and instructions.doc' file.

    Electronics folder contains a pcb layout and overlay as .bmp files - also a .LYT file for use with Proteus, partslist and circuit diagram.

    Pictures folder contains a few images of the completed controller.

    Source contains the C files.

    In the root there's a keypad template that can be used with the recommended keypad, use instructions and the final .HEX file to program the PIC with.

    Hope it's of some use!

    Steve.
