You can find such a motor in CD-ROM spindles and most computer fans. the CD-ROM spindle will have more easily accessable wires, but if you don't have any junked already then the brushless fans are cheap and aren't terribly difficult to dissassemble. Floppy drove motors are also a good source. I'd also say HD motors, but they don't usually have the sensor - I suspect they either detect back EMF or simply drive it blind and let the data stream clock itself. I've got a bunch of CD-ROM spindle motors if you want to pay postage and fiddle with that. -Adam On 4/12/06, Denny Esterline wrote: > I recently bought a PICDEM MC LV development board and I ordered a small sensored brushless motor from BGmicro to use with it. As is the nature of surplus, BG sold out of the motors. So here I am needing a suitable motor for software development. It's only going to live on my desk while I develop the rest of the project so size doesn't matter much, the board can handle ~2 amps at 48 volts, so anything under that limit would be fine. I only need the one and I'm trying to avoid the $150 option from mchip. > > Thanks, > -Denny > > > -- > http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive > View/change your membership options at > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist > -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
