I've scoured the net and can't seem to find enough to go off of on this one. I don't mind trying a few different things, but I don't want to waste money on unneeded components and I also don't want to burn anything up.
What I'd like to do is remove the two existing motors from within my PS3 controller and then connect the leads that are currently connected to those motors into a circuit that will trigger two larger DC motors instead when the same signal is sent through the controller. I believe the motors that are in it are about 3-5v each, and the two that I'm looking to replace them with are about 15v each.
I think this can be accomplished without having to use an Arduino or other type of logic device, but I really don't know. Can I somehow run my leads into a breadboard that is also connected to a 15v DC power supply, and then use a transistor, diode, and resistor to somehow accomplish the task that I'm looking for?
Thank you very much for any feedback that you can provide.
