The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

So I got it built and electronics connected, but for some reason I'm not getting the 24v or 5v power. I used strip board and built the circuits as close as possible to the instructions. My guess is my soldering sucks. Any suggestions?

I followed the schematic, and I get it now. Took me a bit to realize the pins in the lower left corner have 5v and ground from the Arduino (USB) that goes to the LCD 5v and ground pins. May test this after the holidays - been busy.

Since this is my first time using an Arduino, I must ask - what output pins from the Arduino would I use to supply power to the linear rail controller since the 5v and ground pins are used for the LCD panel?

I found an earlier post about the LCD display inputs coming from the Arduino. I'll have to do that after work at some point and let you know if I have any other questions.

Got another electronics noob question. On the linear rail control board, there are power connectors for the Arduino and the LCD display. The LCD display has connections for power but also for Clock, Latch, and Data. Where would those three signals come from? Also, doesn't the power for the Arduino c...

Thanks so much for your help! I'll keep y'all posted on my progress

pentlandsound I'm a bit of an electronics noob, so got a question about the LCD circuit. What is the 10K component?

Thanks for the info! You guys are quick and spot on! Dave, that looks awesome! Hoping I can get those kinds of results. This is basically my upgrade from a Teenage Engineering Record Factory, which I love but am hoping to improve on sound quality and be able to cut or emboss larger media. I even exp...

I'm currently getting the parts I need. The 3d printed parts came in this week, and that really upped my excitement for this project. Question - where can I get the TEAX19C01-8 coin exciters? Seems as if every place is sold out of them except for an eBay store in Austria. I know Dayton Audio has a 1...
