Hardware hack a BLDC as an AC servo motor

In this hardware hacking science short, we pull off a stunt with a standard, brushless DC (BLDC) motor and convert it into a brushless AC motor (BLAC). These AC drives are used extensively in robotics because of their high precision and the ability to hold a position like a stepper motor, but unlike a stepper motor or even a brushless DC motor, AC motors are incredibly smooth. We use a standard H bridge for driving a BLDC, an Arduino uno and some fancy shmancy programming footwork. Links to the FREE lesson PWMAC, as well as Ben Taylor's FREE (thanks Ben!)
