Overview
This common Brushed DC motor is made into a molecule using a 3D printed mount and electrical traces to break out the six pins of the motor. The signals being fed to the motor include M+, M-, and two hall effect sensors, which are arranged at a 90deg angle and used as a rudimentary quadrature encoder. In addition, an external hall effect sensor can read a magnet embedded on the output wheel or device of the motor to allow a proper homing on the motor, where applications require. Indicator LEDs help the user identify when power is properly applied, when any of the hall effect sensors are active, and which direction power is being fed to the motor.
