Hello everybody I just created this account as I'm struggling to resolve my questions myself, hopefully someone can help me with them
Ok first of all this is the pwm I purchased
https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-30V-DC-M...M-Control-Forward-Reverse-switch/182003602041
And this is the motor
https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Torq...Gear-Bearing-12-36V-555-DC-Motor/282951529686
Power supply is either 2A plug or 10A battery (still waiting for delivery) both 12V
Problem I am having is after connecting all together with the 2A plug as that's all I have at the moment is that there is extremely limited range on the potentiometer it goes from slow to very fast in about 1mm turn, I was wondering if I replaced the potentiometer with a different one would that give me more control on the speed? Also how would I calculate what potentiometer size I would need?
But the second problem is more important again, at full speed the motor has lots of torque more than enough for my needs but when the speed is lowered there is litteraly no torque at all, I read online that with a pwm you could lower speed and keep the torque high? But having tried that I'm guessing that information was incorrect?
Would a different pwm board help?
Is there a way to lower speed and keep torque high? Other than a gearbox?
Sorry for so many questions, I'd be very grateful for any help, mike
