The arduinovisor synchronisation I did is pretty cool. Made even better by Keith - it is a guaranteed frame-lock which spins up and locks in under 10 seconds. Look under mechanical TV/construction diaries.

Is there a way to sync the disk without using an arduino or any other microcontroller?


Yes use the search on this forum you have years of experiments on syncing a nipkow disk ...every thing you want are in the past posts most use a pll 4046 and opto fork for feed back to lock on to the video sync...sometimes it works to plan other time's you will head scratch i always find its a fine balance between switching the motor and powering it as every motor is different and that's mainly where what you have and whats in the schematic is different .

Any particular reason why? Microcontrollers are the easiest way to do it now and it gives you a LOT of control to tune the parameters for your motor, disc, framerate etc.

I mean true purists have even made tube (valve) based sync devices. But how pure do you want it to be?
