  • Driving HDD BLDC motor

  • A Hard disk drive motor has more coils than this simple triphased motor. Practically I have found 24 stable positions. The basis sequence of 6 positions is thus repeated 4 times. And 24 is a very convenient number for a clock !As we have 24 stable...
  • Centripetal Force and the BLDC Gyrofan

  • I started to look more closely at the centripetal force equation, since I've been wary of raising the Gyrofan speed higher with its full mass, as I didn't know exactly how much force was being generated.  I'd like to ramp the thing up to get appreciable...
  • Plan for an improved BLDC controller

  • Rotating polygon laser scanners need to keep track of the angular position of theprism or mirror.In an earlier version of Hexastorm, this was achieved with a Sharp A160 polygonmotor. This board has a NIBC3111 chip. Motor speed could becontrolled by sending...
  • Putting together the motor driver

  • A picture story:I have completed the building of my first motor driver board. This is a prototype so it has been constructed on a perf board protyping board that I bought at Fry's electronics. This is not meant to be a flying prototype just a test bed...
  • A little background

  • This project came to be when I became tired of searching for a commercial option for closed loop position control for a CNC machine I'm developing. The majority of the retrofit CNC drives I found were stepper motor drives, and altough many brushed or...
  • Build hope?

  • The twenty 2018 Hackaday Prize Power Harvesting Challenge winners were announced today, and again I did not win a single thing, not even a non-monetary achievement.  This is the 3rd loss for TrillSat in a row, and I see a trend here, unfortunately....
  • [R] Sourcing chips

  • Yikes. This took 8 hours to curate. At least now I know I'm creating a switch that's likely to be >£15 per each. Considering that many ergo keyboards, the Twiddler3 and the Charachorder all cost north of £150, this isn't too terrible. Behind...
  • [R] Are better components now available?

  • [20 June: 01:00] So I stopped daydreaming about the T9 Plus mini PC inside #Leti and went onto Digikey to confirm prices of components. Unexpectedly, prices have changed. The TLE5501 was over £3 last time I checked, and the AAT101 was...
  • [M] PCB Schematic

  • [22:50] Ok. I've spent the past 2 days drawing up this schematic. The license is going to be under some permissive option but I've just been reading datasheets and connecting the dots so...It's a good thing that I haven't just press "Buy Now" on...
  • [T][R] Concept Fantastic4

  • The next Tetrinsic concept was going to be "Tetrinsic Concept4", but partially because this project needed a hero and partially because I was thinking about the intro music from the 33 second mark of the Fantastic Four: Worlds Greatest Heroes as...
