Hi all,
I built ESP8266 based device to use on my REGA RP3.
Essentially, it has 2 sensors, IR and ToF, to detect spinning and tonearm position (at the moment only if raised or not).
Every time platter spins in correct speed +/- 2% and tonearm is raised it creates session. Once tonearm is off the record or platter stops spinning, data is saved on AWS backend and can be use for different analysis including basic idea of tracking stylus usage and speed variations, but also listening habits, how often you forget your to raise tonearm at the end of record side etc.
I wonder if someone is willing to have one to test.
I still have not made mobile app to get nice representation of data, but it is in progress.
Currently, I have built template that hold sensors in place only for RP3, but it is trivial (naive assumption) to create for any turntable.
In order IR to work small white sticker need to be put on platter, as marker.
