      Most Many microwave plate motors are 6 rpm. If you always stick to 10 seconds increments, it should end right where it started.

          Still issue? Idk 😂

          Edit: I do see some that use 3rpm so those would always be backwards at 30 seconds. 50hz supply would also change the rotation speed. My turntable is very predictable at least, so i guess I’ll take the personal win and go.

      It could easily be done, but would only work if: you don’t stop the cycle manually by opening the door, or you are ok with the microwave quickly spinning your food (or liquid filled cup) to the starting position as soon as you do open the door.

          when timer ends or stop button is pressed it should turn off microwaves but keep spinning until original position

          Better yet, change the rotation speed to match the timer.

              I mean, sure, but there are microwaves out there that measure the heat of food put in it to cook it automatically. I figure a variable speed to match an input time would be just a bit easier to accomplish than that.

            Have it calculate the amount of full rotations and round it down to the nearest whole number. Worst case scenario, your cup is static for 5–10 seconds before the microwave stops.
