Testing Motor and VDF inverter

Manually tested VDF inverter with Switches and Poti using local power from VDF:

... seems to work...

Docu for the VDF

Playing with dimensions...

A rudimentary but simple, fast and cheap approach to get hold of the good dimensions...

For the ball and socket head I just made a large whole that the screw can move.

Project start ...
