In this episode of HACKED! we will have a closer look at the BLDC Motor of a hard drive. We will find out how it works and how we can use its construction to determine whether it spins clockwise or anticlockwise. At the end we will connect the Motor to an Arduino in order to use it as a rotary encoder.
