How to Interface a 4-Wire Vacuum Suction Motor from a Vacuum Robot with a Raspberry Pi?
Ah, OK, well that makes sense then that it would need PWM.
Did you test the motor in its native configuration before hacking it? I always try to do that to make sure I'm not trying to beat a dead horse so to speak (wow, that is a rather cruel idiom, not that I type it out).
Wonder what the input/voltage current requirements are?
Also, PWM can have different duty cycles, so maybe consider trying different timings? For that matter, something like a hobby servo uses what's generally called a PWM input, but it's actually a bit different than normal PWM from my understanding timing-wise. Perhaps that woudl be another avenue of experimentation.
Good luck, I am curious to see what you find out!
