[TCML] SRSG Update. Very cool pictures!

[BunnyKiller]

Hey Andrew....

your design looks good ( isnt SW great ;)  )  why so many electrodes on 
the disc?? What is the maximum BPS you need? or, What is the 
maximun/minimum motor speed?  Im running a SRSG on my system at 1800 RPM 
and only have 4 electrodes on the disc for 120BPS...

just wondering...
