Re: White Paper Discuss: Dr Joe's Chain Path Visualizer

Nifty tool. It should probably be noted for the layman that one goal of chain and sprockets is to achieve 180 degrees of engagement per sprocket. But when you can't, I'm curious if you could add to this, such that you key in the motor torques and assume stall. Then let the spreadsheet estimate the needed amount of tooth engagement at each sprocket (depending on radius etc). Maybe you could indicate which is the drive. Now thats the deluxe model!

Also I noticed on the top of the page you're saying to only edit the green fields. But you need to "green" the "Nspr" (number of sprockets) field in case we don't have a 6 sprocket setup.

Also users note:
make sure to zero out the extra fields beyond the number of sprockets needed
