That is pretty slick.  I thought you were trying to drive a PWM input on 
the drive, not an analog input.

I think you should definitely put that on the wiki someplace.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
