Coil winding machine from printer idea

[Bonke]

we broke into the zoo and snagged a Lemur for all our winding, does everything for a bag of pop corn, grabs the bobbin, threads the wire, hits Start, and even poops in the back yard,  ;D

only problem is sometimes that big long tail gets snagged in the motor pulley, shreiks like a frog in a blender,

Aaaaaaaaah a lemur off course!
To bad it is to cold in Sweden for lemurs. Any special training or was he/she a natural? No fallin asleep while winding?

Today I got an HP psc 2410 All in one printer from my father in law. Lots of good stuff:
2 dc motors, 1 stepped motor, metal rods, pushbuttons and a lot of other goodies.

I think I am going to get an Arduino and a motor shield so I can get cracking. It will probably take me ages to program everything but then I can wind by hand with only one dc motor "CJ-style" in the meantime.
