Hi guys,

sorry for the late reply, first my phone croaked and now I can´t upload the pictures even though 

I already compressed them, it still says they´re too large.

Any help would be very welcome.

Cheers

Scorpio

You might try installing Faststone Photo Resizer if you have a Windows computer. Otherwise, there are phone apps that do image resizing.

Typically, cellphone cameras on let you change the resolution you shoot at. The smallest files are produced at the smallest length and width. If that's not enough, a resizer can take it a step farther. Faststone's resizer can reduce not only the dimensions, but also the quality. I usually reduce the quality of uploaded files by 15% with no noticeable degradation. This makes a huge difference in the file size. If you need a phone-only app, read the descriptions and user ratings first. Choose one that can reduce the quality, and other parameters. Use caution! Phone apps from individuals, or unknown companies are like the Wild West.

Thanks Wiz,

I can´t change the resolution in my phone´s camera (Had I known that before I would not have bought the Samsung a54).

And I even after compressing them by 75% with Faststone they´re still 1,6-1,8MB.

This feels more like a smart phone support forum at times.

A simple “Samsung photo resize” search reveals these instructions: https://www.samsung.com/sg/support/mobile-devices/how-to-resize-photos-in-the-gallery-app-on-your-galaxy-phone/

Great, she’s a beauty! The decals are gorgeous and in great shape.

You might be able to mount/clamp a servo motor under the top surface at the rear to drive the big, currently unused pulley. That would act as a HUGE speed reducer (perhaps too big to use with a position sensor)

Disconnecting the linkage between the pedal and the big wheel would allow you to connect the existing pedal to the speed input. You’d loose the ability to pedal-drive the machine, but the front hand wheel is a great option for slow manual stitching.

That sounds like a great option.

I`m currently looking at this motor https://www.vevor.de/servomotor-c_11222/naehmaschine-servomotor-naehmotor-justierbar-befestigung-kupplungsmotor-750w-p_010611078687.

Would it be suitable for that sort of conversion?

Yes, that’s a suitable motor, I think.

You’ll have lots of flexibility mounting the speed input, motor, and control box wherever you need them to be. You don’t need to use the mounting brackets that come with the kit. You can create custom mounting solutions like I did in my setup shown in the pictures I posted earlier.

Your table is not designed to accept the standard 3-hole mounts, so you’ll have to get creative. These motors, controller, and speed input also lend themselves to simple clamping installation, for testing or permanent use.

Hi Guys,

just to let you know, I got in a bit of an accident so I can´t work on the machine for a while.

I´m still looking at options for mounting motors to it.

Cheers
