Can the rotation be adjusted, slowed, reversed, stopped. I see there are two potentiometers on the PCB, what are they for?

It took me awhile to open the assembly and see PCB. If the blue ones are potentiometers, their adjustment won't affect rotation. The magnetic field does not exert angular acceleration on the levitating disc to cause it to slow, or reverse. Certainly the disc rotation can be stopped by letting it snap on the platform, but that won't require any adjustment :) Hence rotation is not adjusted by potentiometers on PCB.

Not that I seen anywhere on it, but you can change direction of rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise.

I'm gonna say it's defective - I am aware of no way to manually change the direction, so I assume it must be wired in reverse.

Yes the board can be turned, I can not see where it would make a difference.

Hi, it should be changing by its self when its in rotating mode you can switch that in the back

Thanks for the clarification. I didnt know if that was the limit or not, i assumed i could at least get some directional control but i guess not.

You are not able to change directions. Mine spins to the right. It works really well for light mixing.

I assume with power plug out of supply out let, then you can rotate wheel easily. If so check power supply specifically voltage and frequency. (You can do this by plugging into a source that powers another motor at correct speed. It is hard to wire a motor to run at wrong speed they typically run on do not run. In any case I do not think you should use it if the speed is not correct. High chance to damage motor and/or the operator.

No. I have one set up on the bench. Apparently it's protected against reverse polarity :-) It shows 0.0 when powered on and the sampling wire is switched (white)

VERY perceptive question-- I'm happy to report that this constantly surprisingly capable device can indeed be tweaked to revolve at very slow speeds. Keep in mind that the weight on the turntable you're trying to tweak is a key aspect-- and the turntable weights I've personally had actual experience tweaking to very slow revolving speeds are quite slight = original art work smallish sculptures. So, keeping that fact in mind, here's how I do it ... I *Power On* the turntable with the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob turned all the way "Off" = no turntable movement at all. Then, I gradually turn the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob in the *Increase Speed* direction until it starts revolving. And now here comes the *Tweak Trick*-- since the turntable is ***already revolving,*** I can now v-e-r-y gradually reverse-turn that Speed Control Knob in the *Lower Speed* direction ... and Lo & Behold, the turntable will start to slow down, so much so, that it's turning very slowly. Like I said-- amazing and surprising capabilities. BUT-- if you yourself are intending to set a relatively *greater* weight on the turntable, hoping to achieve the same v-e-r-y slow RPM's that I and my very light weights can achieve-- at this moment ***I don't know from actual experience if that's possible.*** But I'd be more than happy to set any weight you'd like me to test for you on the device, and then see What's What regarding v-e-r-y slow RPM's and the weights you intend to use, and then report the results back to you. Your v-e-r-y perceptive technical question is exactly the same sort of question I'd be asking in your circumstances ... and so, I'll try to help you out just as much as vice-versa.

On the drill there is a small yellow button on the underside. You should be able to switch it into three different positions forward off and reverse. If that doesn't happen you may have a defective drill

Is it rotating? Or leaning to the left? If it is rotating you can adjust that by the small tuning knob that is on the remote. That can help to adjust the rotation speed and keep it still. If it is leaning that suggests a weight imbalance issue. That's more of a mechanical problem.

You can control this by using a PID, an SSR with a PWM circuit, or a SSR-V, which is an SSR to which you can just connect a potentiometer to control its on/off state. The element itself is either on or off, but using one of those options you are basically cutting power in and out to the element at set intervals (which may be on the order of milliseconds or up to seconds at a time, depending on which you use). I use an SSR-V and a potentiometer only, and it works great. I can basically turn it full on or full off, or anywhere in between. If I were doing it again, I'd use a PID, and I probably will upgrade soon.

You have the option to have the rotation on or off. It also has a low and high setting as well.

You can press a button on it to rotate the prong section. It's rotates 90 degrees at a time so you can rotate in any of four directions depending on the space you want to put it in

There are 2 screws on the back that can be tightened to lock the rotation at a desired angle. Or, leave them loose to have it rotate freely.

Yes, you can freely rotate them 360 degrees without any "forced stop" anywhere. Also to rotate them, it's a smooth motion, no dial "clicks" as let's say with a timer-wheel on an analogue timer. The rotation however asks for a good torque; it can't be rotated using one finger only, for example. Hope this answers your question.
