Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BG Micro motor froze up
Well, now it's down to operating fine, but heavily corroded (stupid
hydrochloric acid!!!). It works fine, just runs a little harder. Still,
I want to clean it out for the sakes of preserving it, since this is
MECI IV M, one of my most prized projects, as it has multi angle balance
sensing and can right itself if it is knocked over. I am just too lazy
to work out the complete schematic (Also school). I'm going to do the
same with my other robots, before they corrode! I should have cleaned
that out when I soldered it!
Again, Is there any good recomendations for cleaning up these things?
