> Digikey have a few devkits

Looks like things haven't changed much, pricewise. I got data
on these a few years ago for someone's device in which they
wanted an adjustable interferometer. At the time it would've
cost about NZ$900+ to get started with just 1 motor. We did
not proceed further down that particular avenue

A bit of browsing today returns only "contact us for quotes for
OEM quantities". Some cameras, like the Canon EF I believe,
use piezo motors for focussing. Judging by the probably still
high price I don't think they are in low-end cameras yet. Then
it would be worth scavenging for one, as the drivers are fairly
cheap. Many common devices, like rfID, used to be very
expensive, and prices came down quite quickly once they had
the manufacturing and applications sorted out. Now you can
buy them at retail level. Seems that squiggle motors though
might not be so available any time soon
