4 conductor (or more) Slip Ring options

Scott, did you go over and see the gears, bearings and slip ring last week I told you about? As usual I forgot to go back and check that table before they packed up. I think Tom bought one of those Chinese slip rings you linked.

I saw the bearings but, I didn't see the slip rings.

Why don't you make one your self the only thing it does stop the wires from twisting. Get a tube solder it to the base run your wires through it to the top . let the cab spin around, it make the hole bigger than the tube so it will spin with out turning tube or the wires. Ed

I want continuous rotation and that requires contacts/sweepers for each conductive wire. If you just had a wire through a tube you would have to remember how many times you went one way or you would eventually get it wound up too many times one way.
