    Default Possible Rumble Motor

    I cannibalized this rumble motor out of a cell phone,

    The battery from the Phone is 3.7v. Am I right in assuming the motor is the same? Will it be a good choice in a saber with USv2.5 and seoul P4 (green)?

    FYI thats a dime.

    And most likely not. Use a multimeter to check the voltage on the pads for the motor if you can, or see if it has any markings and try to look up a datasheet for it.

    using the knowledge of tiny rumble motors that i have, i'm guessing that your motor is actually a 1.5-2.5V 50-70mA motor. too bad the image link is broken or i would probably be able to tell you more specifically. ^_^

    The short answer is No the board for the cell phone runs off 3.7v it only drives the other pieces with what they require, its a battery saver cell phone competition thing. Your best bet (if you still have the phone) is to measure the pads as Skott suggested if not just do as Az said and I'm sure your fine

    I decided to scrap the motor idea. I'll save it for another build. I think, the size of the counter balance is my main issue. I am looking for a slight vibration. So, a small counter balance should achieve just that.

    How is a counter balance going to make vibrations?

    The counter balance on a rumble motor is the half moon shaped weight spins on the spindle. The bigger the size, of the weight will off balance the motor with a more noticeable vibration.

    I know how a rumble motor works.

    I just misread your post, thinking you just meant using a counter balance without a motor.
