PCB motor

Hey @atomic14,

In the past, I made a small script to create pcb motors, see https://github.com/hstarmans/pcb-motor, in combination with some experimental notes and basic equations which govern the system.
I am using this to rotate a mirror or prism in a laser scanner (see https://hackaday.io/project/21933-prism-laser-scanner). I also did quite some experiments on Hall sensors, different magnet configurations of which you can find videos online.
My main question; do you have any idea why people use trapezoidal tracks? Is the track length longer than the Archimedean spiral?

Anyhow, thanks for the video!

This issue is a conceptual question about trapezoidal tracks, Archimedean spirals, Hall sensors, and PCB motors rather than a scoped code change. Review the linked pcb-motor script and the referenced experimental notes first; no repository file or test is named. Done would require turning the discussion into a concrete, agreed plugin change or documentation task.
