Widely known to computer users, 3,5" magnetic floppy disks and disk drives (FDD - FloppyDiskDrive) for them are now becoming obsolete everywhere. The disk drive of my computer did not escape this fate, which is why it was dismantled. But so that it does not remain unemployed , I found a useful, in my opinion, application for it - I made on its basis a miniature desktop machine for grinding and polishing the surfaces of small parts made of metals and plastics.

To do this, the drive must be disassembled and all unnecessary parts removed from the chassis. You only need to leave the board with the disk drive electric motor (Fig. 1).

Grinding device from the drive

The motor stator with windings is attached directly to the board, and the rotor is a ring magnet glued to a metal disk, the axis of which rotates in a bearing.

In the drive, the operation of the electric motor is controlled by a specialized BA6992P5 microcircuit using sensors installed on the board between the stator coils. In order to use the drive in a grinding device, it is necessary to temporarily separate the board from the chassis (Fig. 2) and close the conclusions 1 and 16 of the specified microcircuit with a wire jumper - they will serve as a common (negative) wire. In addition, you need to connect pins 13 and 19 of the microcircuit to each other.

Grinding device from the drive

The positive power wire is soldered to the printed circuit conductor of the board connected to pin 21. By the way, the necessary designations are often indicated on the board ("GND" and "+ 5V) A miniature toggle switch is soldered into the gap of one of the wires. After that, the board is installed in its original place. Toggle switch mounted in a convenient place on one of the side walls of the chassis.

The grinding device can be powered from any source of constant voltage 5...9 V, current consumption - about 350 mA.

The assembled device is covered from above with a protective plate made of thin plastic or, in extreme cases, with a sheet of thick paper (Fig. 3), having previously cut a hole for the motor rotor. A rigid faceplate should be attached to the rotor from the outside with glue or screws, on which it will be possible to install replaceable disks with sandpaper of different grain sizes, with a cloth or felt pad for polishing, covered with GOI paste.

Grinding device from the drive

In some drives, control chips BA6992PP, BA6995PP are installed on the board. Their connection is the same as above.

To check the load capacity of the finished device, I forcibly stopped the rotor of the switched on electric motor for 10 ... 15 minutes. It turned out that the heating of its windings and microcircuits is significantly less than the maximum allowable (+85 °C). Therefore, the operating voltage of the device can be safely adjusted within 5 ... 9 V, depending on the nature of the work performed.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Budget phone LG A290 with support for three SIM-cards 04.02.2012

As it became known, LG is going to offer users an inexpensive phone A290, which feature is the support of three SIM cards. The novelty will compete not only with numerous Chinese and "pseudo-Chinese" brands dominating the lower price segment, but also with Nokia, which has been very successful in producing phones with support for two SIM-cards.

It is known that the equipment of the phone will include a 2,2-inch screen with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, a 1,3-megapixel camera, an LED flashlight, a microSD card slot, a USB port and a 1500 mAh battery. Device dimensions - 113,5 x 51 x 12,95 mm. More data about the phone, as well as information about its mass and battery life, is not yet available.

The LG A290 will be the first to go on sale in Russia, where it will cost $100. Later, the sales geography of the device, no doubt, will expand significantly.
