 Drivers for newer operating systems are not there, and the software this works with is really only designed to copy a bunch of the same disc over and over.  A band interesting in burning their own discs might like this. Drivers for newer operating systems are not there, and the software this works with is really only designed to copy a bunch of the same disc over and over.  A band interesting in burning their own discs might like this.

 +The first step was to remove all of the housing and electronics,​ and identify what things I can use and what each part is.

 +I documented what I could figure out from each connecting wire:
 +
 +  * Bad Disk Full (Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue) [[https://​www.sparkfun.com/​datasheets/​Sensors/​QRB1114.pdf|QRB1114]]
 +  * Bin Full (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green) [[https://​www.sparkfun.com/​datasheets/​Sensors/​QRB1114.pdf|QRB1114]]
 +    * Pin 1 = Red = Emitter Anode
 +    * Pin 2 = Orange = Emitter Cathode
 +    * Pin 3 = Yellow = Sensor Emitter
 +    * Pin 4 = Green = Sensor Collector
 +  * Drive Door (Blue, Black, Purple, Yellow) [[https://​www.sparkfun.com/​datasheets/​Sensors/​QRB1114.pdf|QRB1114]]
 +  * Home Sensor (Red, Orange, Yellow) [[http://​www.sharpsma.com/​webfm_send/​637|Sharp GP1A75E3J00F]] (Yellow = E)
 +  * Disk Present (Red, Black, Blue) [[http://​www.sharpsma.com/​webfm_send/​637|Sharp GP1A75E3J00F]] (Blue = E)
 +  * Safety Int (Black, Read, Green) [[http://​www.sharpsma.com/​webfm_send/​637|Sharp GP1A75E3J00F]] (Green = E)
 +  * JP13 Greyish White Wires go to the Disc Release Solenoid.
 +  * Stepper Motor [[http://​jnker.com/​equipment/​step_pdf/​Seriya-GD42STH_1.8.pdf|FL42STH47-1206AC]] (1.8 degrees 1.2A) 
 +     * Rated Voltage = 4V
 +     * Current / Phase = 1.2A
 +     * Resistance / Phase 3.3Ω
 +     * Inductance / Phase 2.8mH
 +     * Holding Torque = 3.17Kg-cm
 +     * Rotor Inertia = 68g-cm^2
 +     * Detent Torque = 200g-cm
 +  * Power Supply 12V @ 2.5A

 +This should be enough information to get going.
 +
 +I don't need the safety interrupt, so that leaves me with 5 sensors, 1 stepper and 1 solenoid that I need to interface with.

 +That still left me with trying to identify that Sharp optical sensor since there are 2 of them I will need.
 +I can see that the blue wire here is the Emitter, I'd really like to find the specs on this to make sure I drive it correctly.
 +
 +My search let me [[http://​memakingthings.blogspot.com/​2012/​12/​optical-interrupters.html|here]],​ not identical, but very close. ​ The 361 chip on my board is a current limiting resistor.
 +
 +A little experimenting with the lid sensor that I'm not going to need should help me figure out how to interface with this.
 +
 +Ohhh I found it [[http://​www.digikey.com/​product-detail/​en/​GP1A75E3J00F/​425-2565-ND/​857214|@ DigiKey 425-2565-ND]]
 +
 +[[http://​www.sharpsma.com/​webfm_send/​637|Sharp GP1A75E3J00F]] I'm still not sure from this how to identify the other two leads.
 +
 +
 +I had a heck of a time getting the .net gadgeteer board and the L6470 stepper controller to talk to any stepper motor.
 +
 +I was finally able to get this turning a stepper motor over the weekend. ​ It seems it's very sensitive to it's register settings.
 +
 +I had to use some software and a stepper motor datasheet to get some values to feed into their software.
 +
 +According to this:
 +https://​www.ghielectronics.com/​community/​forum/​topic?​id=8081&​page=2
 +
 +Those values only get you close and you need to use an o-scope to tune it further.
 +
 +
 +TODO:
 +  * Hookup and test stepper motor to L6470 module
 +  * Interface both types of optical sensors to gadgeteer board
 +  * Write some rough code to exercise the machine using the optical sensors to prevent damage
 +    * A loop that grabs CD's from source stack, drops them every other into the bins until bins are full.
 +  * Write code to interface machine to PC to take simple commands and report back
 +  * Write code on PC side to control machine and rip discs

 +Andrew and I learned how to interface with the Disc Presence sensor. ​ It was very easy
 +
 +  * Blue Wire to Ground
 +  * Red Wire to 5V
 +  * Black Wire to Pin 3 (interrupt pin)
 +
