Hei
Code, BOM, Shemata, and some Pictures are documented here http://wiki.midibox.org/doku.php?id=coilwinder
The rest is documentadet with this Video in ENGLISH:

Hey Mike
Excellent project !
I might be interested as I’ll need to wind RM coil soon
Dose your code or parameter setting offer multi layer winding ? going back and forth within a coil former length ?
Best

its not in the code yet, since tesla coil needs only one layer. but to add a new mode is not difficult… just toggle the direction pin when a ammount off turns are arrived - i can add this… tell me when and if you begin to.build a winder - or do i missunderstand and you just need some coils to be windet?
I’ll be in the need within 6/12 month I’ll say.
Don’t know yet if I’ll use subcontractor, or if I buy or build a winding machine.
Great work !
multilayer is challenging, getting the winds tight, the right tension, as the way to get the coils to glue together, will take some time.
At my job a college build a coil machine around an arduino with GRBL and faced quite this challenges. but by no means you should not go for it!

by RM you meen a Ringmodulator-coil? if you can provide some specifications, i can make special Program for Ringmodulator Coils (these have a center tip on the secondary? and no center tip on the Primary?
what comes in my mind:
what kind off Iron-Core?, many off windings, 1:1 or is this a 1:2 because off center-tip?, wire-diameter,
a Center-Break in the Program? maybe this could be managed too moove the Feeder with max speed to get something like this:
START winding |…|…|…|…|…|…|…|
First Layer: >|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Next Layer:<|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Next Layer:>|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Last Layer:<|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CENTER winding< |…|…|…|…|…|…|…|
Next Layer:>|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Next Layer:<|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Next Layer:>|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Last Layer:<|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
END winding< |…|…|…|…|…|…|…|
at the end it will look like this:
|…|…|…|…|…|…|…| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
then Paint the Coil and dry it out - except off the " |…|…|…|…|…|…|…| " Part
which can be unwindet by hand, so you have then there 3 Wires to solder to the PCB… without breaking the Program - and fiddle arround at all… (aka no tension problems…)
@benuron > the V-groove Rolls-Array make enough tension > at least for Tesla, or low-ampere Audio-Coil-Stuff (aka small Diameter CopperWire).
But i have some thougts about the Point were it Toggle the direction this is may be a critical point indeed…

Nope
RM is a standardised coil assembly, with pcb mount coil former.
