Force Feedback Motor Hack Help
zelony:
Thanks Mark!
I knew I wasn't the only one crazy enough to want the real power! Muhahahahaha! ;-)
I will order a set as soon as I can find some. Looks like there are a few different models, so time to dig into the manuals and see what I have forgotten since college.
Thanks again, now I know that it is possible I can move forward at full speed.

Glad to help.
BTW: The Amplifier I'm using is *way* more powerful than is needed. I'm probably running it at 5% of it's capacity. When I first hooked it up the motor spun to fast that before I could shut it off it *melted* the plastic pulley and the whole thing jerked and gouged my desk.
You need a "DC Servo Amplifier for Brush Type Motors" that:
1) Is bi-directional/reversing.
2) Has a mode that simply amplifies the input signal (without requiring any other sensors).
Merry Christmas!
