Re: How to Power a Rotating Turret
We attached a 25 chain on the outer rim of an aluminum plate mounted to the lazy susan.
Then, we attached a FP motor (with the accompanying plastic gearbox) with a custom hub/sprocket attachment to directly drive and spin the fixed chain.
The speed and "smoothness" of running it is to our liking.  No jitters of course.
Will take some pics and post once we get our encoder on for camera control purposes.
