I have a Treadmill motor that I would like to retrofit to a Honey extractor, with variable speed. I've attached photos of the main board and also the board where the control of the treadmill where. From my very limited understanding I can't simply fit a POT to the main board? I believe I need to use a PWM to control the speed but this is as much as I have managed to workout. I've looked through threads on here but they go over my head very quickly.
The motor is 180v, I've seen cheap controllers on ebay but they are only good for up to 48v. Do I need a controller which is rated to 180v like the one here, PWM controller ? Or can I use the smaller cheaper ones?
Secondly, where do I wire it in? Does this completely replace the old board from the treadmill or does it need to be wired into it?
My knowledge is embarrassingly limited so you'll need to use simple terms for me but I'm keen to learn and understand!
