MRotate using USB port.
DaOld Man:
That looks interesting Samson. Do you have one? If anyone does Id be glad to work on a version of mrotate for that, but I will need someone to test it for me.

I have an USB Pololu Simple Motor Controller 18v7 that I am willing to be your test monkey :)
DaOld Man:
Thanks Soju!
Does that controller use line commands to run? (I havent researched it yet).
If it does, you probably wont need MRotate with it. You may be able to run it directly from startcom in mala.
Can you shoot me a link, just so I make sure Im researching the correct drive?
Edit: I see you have already posted a link to that drive in your other thread, let me study it a bit.

The Simple Motor Controller polulmu 18v7 is at https://www.pololu.com/product/1372
I am able to control the motor via the command line. The one thing that that threw me for a loop at first is that you have set everything up with the software then save the configuration file. Then at the command prompt, you have to load that configuration file before sending commands. I am not sure how long the configuration stays loaded after the power and USB connection is disconnected.
Edit: You have to send two commands to the command prompt: smccmd --resume and smccmd --speed 3200 or -3200. 3200 = 100% Speed.
