I am trying to appropriate the motors out of an old vcr.
I have a VEM0800 motor attached to a board with a BA6868FM chip on it.
The board is labeled VEP02579A, other markings on the motor include "EP23AA" and "403201"
This is the only data sheet I have for the chip is:

Before I spend too much more time on this I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a pinout for the 8 pin header on the board?
The assembly was given to me already removed from the vcr so I can't trace it back that way. If no one knows I'll go through checking continuity pin by pin, but I'm trying to avoid that.
?Nothing solid yet, but I would recommend getting a print for one of the VC Rs that use this motor.

VCRs control these motors quite well and reverse them and all that so getti ng the print for any of the VCRs tyhat use that motor should give you the m ethoid of how to control it.
You could do it yourself from scratch if you want to reinvent the wheel, bu t do you ?
If so and you got good reason, say so. you could concievabvly connect to th e motor board and discard their inadequate chip. But why ? I know they had a way to report the phase back to the servo chip but never looked into it. they did this for slow tracking. Rmeember slow trackng ?
Anyway, get the print for any of those machines and you should be able to d o what you want to do. If not, say so...

Thank you for the info. That list is very helpful and I could take it with me to a thrift store to look for one of those model, for sure. I'm unfamil iar with the term "the print" - is that another way to refer to the main pr inted circuit board?

I don't 100% get what they all do, but I can power it up now and experiment .
