Grow up and stop blaming the customer.  You're the one who screwed up.  You=
r
job as engineer is to gather the requirements if these are not already know=
n
before designing something.  Most customers don't understand what you need
to know.  After all, that's why they hire you.  They also tend to imagine a
solution and then ask for that implementation.  Good engineers will ask
questions until they are satisfied they know what is really needed and what
will solve the customer's true problem, not necessarily the one they first
presented.

If you can't handle this, you should be working for a large company with
senior people around.  Don't try to be a consultant.

Stop and think.  From this description you should be able to tell you're no=
t
dealing with a raw motor.  All previous suggestions are therefore
unapplicable.  It also means new suggestions are pointless until you get th=
e
true interface spec.  Do you know what "servo" means?
