Mostly I just salvage the motors off of old hard drives. Most of them use the exact same motor irregardless of hard drive manufacturer. I want to use the motor in a small robotic vacuum, so constant speed = not a problem.
I'm interested in using computer hard drive spindle motors in a small robotics application. I figure that the motors are mass produced(cheap), reliable and readily available, but controlling them is the hard part. Does anybody have any experience doing this kind of thing and do you have any...
