Hi All!
I'm trying to update my Unimat 3 lathe original motor to a 36v, 500w DC electric scooter motor. I went and ordered a 48V 500W switched-mode power supply unit for this bad boy, I'm going to make the motor work harder by running it at 48V. Since I'm planning to use an arduino to control its speed and position, I also ordered an optical encoder disk. Now all I need is a 48V 10.5A H-Bridge Motor Driver...here lies the problem: They are too expensive!
So I checked around for other options and found this:
"Universal DC10-60V PWM HHO RC Motor Speed Regulator Controller Switch 20A New" for under 5 dollar!

I'm thinking I can just use the H-bridge, discard or ignore its PWM signal and use the arduino's PWM instead, or some how "interface", work with it
So the question is: "Can I? Should I?"
Thanks in advance.
