Hi All,
Thanks for reading this. I am new to this forum, and I am looking to see if anyone has rigged an old hard drive motor to run on a 12v DC power supply. I need to run a 3.5” hard drive on full speed (5k RPM or faster would be nice), in order to test out some gyroscopic principals when I attach the HD to an imaging platform. Basically I want to rig up some powered gyroscopes to stabilize an imaging platform. I am a handy guy, And can attach anything to most anything, but the electronics of rigging the HD itself are completely out of my wheelhouse.
If I understand correctly, a speed controller is required, but perhaps some other things are, also?
If you can point me to some how-to videos, that would be appreciated. If you want to rig one up and send it to me, I would pay you for your time and work after we talk details.
Thanks for your consideration.
