Arduino + HDD + ESC

by Dave Johnson

February 19 2011

my project for the past two days has been to get a BLDS hard drive motor to spin at 5400rpms I read high and low on how to control these motors and everyone said that a ESC (electronic speed controller) would be the best route to go in. so a made a visit at my local hobby shop that specialize in airplanes and picked up a E-Flite Pro 10A ESC. and it took me 24hour to figure out how to get a steady speed. I’ll post schematics and code in a later post after i get it all figured out.

  1. I’m impressed, I must say. Genuinely rarely do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you’ve got hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the issue is one thing that not adequate people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

  2. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a
    blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips
    or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
