I own a Clio pocket system and I found the instructions on how to build the Medusa automatic turn table: https://www.audiomatica.com/wp/?page_id=3024
I will not build exactly this one, but it will be also based on GRBL, Arduino and CNC shield. I will use two smaller motors and a pulley between them, just because I had them from a 3D printer. Powered from an old laptop supply.
From a serial terminal, it works perfectly. I got it moving also from Clio Pocket - if your Windows use a decimal comma instead of a decimal dot, you need to change that in Windows to get it to work. At least in the current 2.2.0.0 release.

So this is more or less a failure. I upgraded the belt from 6 mm to 10 mm and a larger toothed wheel. And the two motors still loose steps at some points, the screw for the axis is maybe bent or there is too much friction somewhere. I still think a pair of NEMA17 motors must be able to handle this - I only need a higher gear ratio. Now I need to figure out a gearbox to fit.
Hello, Does anyone have the Medusa turntable working under Clio Pocket?
This is because I can control the turntable from Arduino IDE, but not from Clio Pocket. When I click the link button it does seem to be connected.
I also do not see in Clio any possibility to adjust the bautrate. It defaults to 9600 baut for the Aruino (Windows device manager). In the manual I see that in CLIO QC scripting it is set to 115200. I did adjust the baut rate once in Windows device manager, but that made no difference either.
Hopefully someone has a solution.
