I know this is random, but I need a bit of help.
So I have this schematic to modify my roaster (actually a popcorn popper) but I would like to try and do it a bit different. Mostly for cosmetic reasons. I've attached two schematics, one is the schematic of the actual machine, the other is the schematic from a guy who created a simple mod to make the fan speed variable and the heat element turn on and off. Both use basic switches / dimmers from home depot.
What I would like to do is create this using two dimmers (rheostat or potentiometer) one might find at mouser or digikey to control the fan speed and the intensity of the element. I'd settle for an on and off switch for the element if that's the way it needs to be. Mostly the reason for this project is because project boxes look better than four gang electrical boxs do. With that in mind, how could I go about this? Any help would be appreciated!! This site has never let me down.
My next task will be to control components via Arduino!!
So here is the site for the mod:
