The Comb PCB Motor is spinning!
It vibrates more than expected and struggles to start from zero speed, I suspect a hall placement issue (TBC). Debugging time!

After the rework the Comb PCB motor is spinning beautifully! Next step closing some loops.

Trying out position control on the Comb PCB Motor!
A more agressive loop could be achieved with more pole pairs or the addition of an encoder.

That's more like it! The R45 PCB Motor and the R45 PCB Motor Driver are working together to achieve the stiffness and accuracy I was after.

First spins of the R45 PCB Motor!
Right now it's running in open loop mode (without an encoder).

That’ll do it! The Comb PCB Motor has been successfully reworked to swap the two misplaced hall sensors.

With the addition of a second bearing the Comb PCB motor is certainly not as sleek, but the mechanical play has been reduced by a lot.

Started designing the next iteration of the Comb PCB Motor. This time I'm going for torque instead of cuteness. Bigger, more copper, more poles, more power.

Closed-loop speed control on the Comb PCB Motor!
Using feedback from the hall sensors, the motor tracks the target speed. Not perfectly tuned yet, but already doing a pretty good job.

New package from @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social !
These PCBs are for the R45 PCBM, an evolution of the Comb PCB motor with higher torque capabilities.
The PCBs are 0.6mm & 4 layers. One of the things I want to test is to stack them.
Thank you www.pcbway.com for sponsoring this project!

So far everything fits, there is a bit too much axial play in the bearing but I think it's good enough to test things.
