also forgot to mention, ive got everything breadboarded. I can move around, add, subtract, or whatever as necessary.

The whole entire thing is made out of cardboard. (its amazing what you can do with an old detergent box).

the disk had thick cardboard, That proved to be off center, and couldnt see the light, and wobbled.

So I used a very thin cardboard, and precisely punched the holes, including the center one. I left the pattern on the disc, and put it on the motor shaft and hotglued it. it spins up, and the circle around the hole is dead center, It doesnt bobb as if it were off-center. Its perfectly still, even though the disk is turning. So I know my disk is good.
