Thanks MGB I think I understand that... This is what I'm making.. http://tinyurl.com/dnb7p5

So say I did use a stepper motor... I have a 1.8 degree 200 stepper motor which means that one step = 0.06 degree. How do I get it to turn exactly 1 RPM 360 degree divide by 0.06 degree = 6000 steps. I think I need help

Found these three. What do you guys think is the best. http://tinyurl.com/czhj8a http://tinyurl.com/ct3qnn http://tinyurl.com/cvswnm

Thanks guys and I'll look through those sites. I did consider stepper motors but someone said that the steps to incite slight movement just like dr D has mentioned.

Hello all. This is my first post as I need some help. I'm building a "barn Door" project which I'm sure you all know is a device to track the stars. With the measurements I've built it to I need to drive the screw at 1 RPM. I'm finding it very hard to get a 1 RPM DC motor either...
