Brushless Motor Spindle with CNC desktop machine

hey everyone,
I am building a small desktop 3D milling machine and needed a
brushless motor for the main spindle. I got sick up and fed of
changing brushes on the prototype I built, and a brushless motor will
also be much quieter for indoor use and last a whole lot longer.
I purchased a model aeroplane motor - AXi 2826/10 motor (rotating
outer housing for better torque and the rotor doesn't throw off it's
windings) with an "easy 25" 25amp controller and I need to know how
the controller signals are sent from the RF module to the controler
and the type of pulses. In the "easy 25" instructions it lists
positive pulses at 1.5 ms with a period of 10 - 30 ms. What voltage
would these be. "3v - 5v"? and are they continuous pulses. If this is
the case then I think it would (maybe)be a case of programming the
software to use the 4th axis as the speed controller and inputing the
appropriate commands into the G-Code
These motors spin around the 10K-20K revs at 12V(and faster) and pull
up to 40 amps so the power is there for a small Miller but I am not
sure how they would react to a filtered DC power supply with the BEC
(Battery Economiser Circuit).
The best case scenario would be to just have a switch to turn the
thing on and off and if anyone out there has a way of doing this
(small circuit board with a pulse module?) then that would be great if
they could contact me about doing this or better still post here.
If anyone else has any ideas Idea about controlling a brushless motor
with a CNC spindle then I will be forever, eternally greatful if you
could let me know how you can do this.
I haven't found anyone else doing this sort of thing with radio
controlled stuff on CNC machines so maybe this will be a first and if
it works the we can tell all the other CNC people out there how to do
it and I know they will be greatful as brushed motors just aren't
cutting it when it comes to running a CNC/engraving job for 9 hours at
a time. The brushes wear out after a very short period of time and
usually halfway through a job and I know you can all sympathise with this.
Please help.
Warm regards
Richard.
