Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

In the Feburary 2012 edition of Silicon Chip magazine there is a very well written article by Nenad Stojadinovic about using the F&P Smartdrive as a motor.

Driving the F&P as a motor is a common question here on the forum, but we've never had a good solution. Nenad has found it, using a BLDC motor controller. The article also mentions re-wiring the F&P to give more power at lower voltage.

thebackshed.com gets a mention too, which is great

Hi Glenn

Haven't been able to get the article yet but was looking at some model outrunner 3 phase motors I have and I believe the driver 80 amp at 18 volts would be a basis for a controller as a fet driver to run the motor.

What do you think of that, it would make a useful motor in the workshop in a lot of applications.

All the best
