Here's the project: Installing fancy complicated BMW seats into my boss's sprinter van.
Here's the problem: I need to feed power to the seats for adjustments/heating.
What's the best way to do this without frying something? I've tested the motors and heating system at 10A@12Vdc , and that seems to work very well. So how do I regulate the current coming from the battery to that level? Is there a purpose-built automotive current regulator available?
Second question: What's the best way to control seat heater temperature? Potentiometer? That's all I've been able to come up with, but if there's a better way please feel free to advise.
Cheers, Dan
