--Mount the rotating table on a sufficiently large and sturdy table. + 
--Suspend the diffuse light source above the rotating table. ​  +  ​- Mount the rotating table on a sufficiently large and sturdy table. 
--Attach a model exoplanet to the rotating table. +  - Cover the rotating table with a black cloth. 
--Connect the power source (EICO 1064) to the motor in the rotating table. ​  +  ​- Suspend the diffuse light source above the rotating table. 
--Start at 0V and slowly turn up the voltage until a desired rotation rate is obtained. ​  +  - Attach a model exoplanet to the rotating table. 
--Mount the light sensor a suitable distance away so that when the table rotates a periodic decrease in the intensity will be observed. ​  +  - Connect the power source (EICO 1064) to the motor in the rotating table. 
--Connect the light sensor to the Vernier LabPro interface. ​  +  - Start at 0V and slowly turn up the voltage until a desired rotation rate is obtained.  
--Connect the Vernier LabPro interface to the USB port of a computer with LoggerPro installed. ​  +   Mount the light sensor a suitable distance away so that when the table rotates a periodic decrease in the intensity will be observed. ​  
--Power the interface, wait for the beeps to finish and then start the LoggerPro software. ​+  - Connect the light sensor to the Vernier LabPro interface. ​
