It is looking like you've solved some of the reasons it was discarded.

Well done.

All these UpcyleIt ideas are easier said than done.

Hopefully those following the blogs have an appreciation of the time and skills needed to achieve the goal.

There is software, mechanical, pcb, electronics, purchasing, design, and research with reverse engineering thrown in.

Great update Andy.

I think you made several smart decisions.

Without knowing the details, bypassing the motor drive circuit was probably the correct move.

Scoring the eyelid control wheel was an excellent quick fix.

Taking extra care with the power distribution is a great idea. I have run into these types of issues in the past and they can introduce some really weird symptoms.
