Hi Ben,
I love watching your shows!
It's fun and very informative,
Recently, I took an old external CD player apart. I hacked the draw opening system and hooked it up to an arduino with a motorshield.
Also I wanted to control the "spindle". The motor that spins the CD.
After some research I discovered it was a small 3 phase motor.
The chip that was driving this used a 3 phase matrix.
I don't know what that means.
Is it possible to drive this kind of motor with an arduino?
Greetings,
Midas
