    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.

      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.

      It would require variable speed motors and more complex chip and programming so it would be more expensive. Just spinning the plate at the same speed until it makes a full turn could be solved mechanically.

        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.
