hello, I have salvaged a big 2 HP treadmill motor and have built a disc sander with it, but the treadmill controller stopped working during testing, and now I need a motor controller preferably PWM.
if anyone can help me create a list of components to driver such a big motor it would be greatly appreciated.
the motor is rated for about 105V DC at 18A I have salvaged a bridge rectifier from the treadmill driver and it works in converting AC to DC. I need a simple circuit, variable speed to start the motor at low speed, and can handle at least 15 A since the motor would be started at low speed and slowly turned up, and would never be run at full throttle. I can solder with no problems, but I have no knowledge of specific electronics like PWM chips. a list of parts and a simple diagram would be very helpful.
