06/04/2017 at 17:49 • 0 commentsHey everyone, I took a different approach to the cassette tape speed and I found an alternative motor for driving cassette tape. I did simulations to play the cassette tape and the rpm varies between 20-50 rpm. The motor is small which is good becauseit keeps the small form factor.

I just received 5PC pkg today. I'm just waiting on the giant book of resistors/caps to come in the mail next week. -

05/11/2017 at 06:35 • 0 commentsThe tape has to move at a constant 4.76cm/s rate. Based off the protoype design it didn't include the tachometer to measure the linear speed.
Im going to list 3 ways it may play correctly
- No tachometer, uses a microcomputer for reading the cassette tape and use software to stabilize the changing play speed
- Add a tachometer to read the 4,76cm/rate but the design becomes bulkier with extra parts.
- We discover a new way to play a cassette tape at the right speed somehow.
