Default RE: PWM help


ORIGINAL: Daddysharky

The motor turns much to fast to control so I want to use a PWM to slow it way down. My question is what size PWM do I need. (size =volt and amp rating)
Do you mean what size speed controller do you need?

You may want to start smaller. These places all have good kits and parts:

Getting back to your first question. The size of the speed controller depends on the voltage and current required for your motors.
