  • instructions to make? ^^,

  • @CSpannerz See the link in the description :-)

  • will this work with arduino?

  • @fabiuh991 Yes, no problem, the controller I use is the same kind as on the arduino.

  • @jose1791 Brushless motors and stepper motors are basically the same thing as far as I understand. Usually we call stepper motors brushless motors with a large number of poles which allow them to be controlled in "steps" (which is not really the case for the hard drive motor).

  • If they could be bought I would buy one. It's so cool.

  • aha! I knew I was hanging on to those old HDD motors for something! Now I've found it. I bet this could evolve into a CNC machine Pendant... Hmmmm *evil grin*

    Thanks ffleurey!
