@tom went away to ride my bike and came back to a big list of useful links.

Thanks everyone, you’re all lovely!

Tom hit by arm count: 2.

Once while it wasn't actually moving.

Tom hit by arm count: Currently 0.

Because the gears won't stay engaged to make the arm actually spin.
This is my first time straying into the mechanical design field, I have a lot to learn.

@ku2y Oh, now I've actually read the schematic, looks like 5V into J6/J7 would work better.
