12 volt motor controller
hi this is my first post to this group. im working on a project that is
going to use this gear motor or another that is very similar. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...1777546&ccitem what I would like it to do is go from 0 to full speed with a pot or use a selector switch to have 6 preset speeds. I have a pretty good understanding of electronics and can find my way around a soldering iron. im just not sure about putting this all together. thanks Dominic |

oh yea I need this to be powered from 120v ac. Well, it's a 12 volt motor so you need a 120 VAC to 12 VDC power supply. If you have a variable power supply (0 - 12 VDC), you can control the motor speed with the power supply pot. The power supply needs to put out a couple amps. John Musselman |

exactly! I guess I should have been more clear, what im looking for is a
design so I can build it. Dom "John Fields" wrote in message ... On Fri, 20 May 2005 16:37:29 -0700, "John Musselman" wrote: oh yea I need this to be powered from 120v ac.
