In this video I'll show how i made a machine to automate the process of coil winding. It can be used for electromagnets, tesla coils, loopstick antennas, transformers, generator coils or indcutive chokes - all things I use a lot of.
Code, Schematics, STLs:
I'm still making a few tweaks. Check back in a few days and I'll update this field with links to all of these.
