Playing with .. an e-motor ?
-
Let's imagine you could buy a small electrical motor for DIY projects - the kind that are big enough to drive kids car toys in which they can sit or to open your garage door. It comes with an integrated microcontroller, a predefinite C API, can be programmed using a gnu compiler, and has an easy to use "flash" tool. It has electronics protection function integrated so that it does not burn, detects blocking, etc... It can communicate via a communication bus or Ethernet with other devices if required. You can screw something on the output shaft. Well, you get the idea, it is in the same spirit as the RaspberryPi or the Arduino are for electronics DIY. Is this a good idea ? How much would you pay for something like that ?
I'd pay a dollar for that. (old saying)
