Hi, I am a little unsure about the correct circuity connecting a switch to turn on a dc motor which I would like to control the speed of with a potentiometer. When the motor turns on I would like to turn on an led also.
I was thinking of using a double pole double throw switch. I plan to connect the potentiometer in series with the motor as shown below (fig 1.) on one output terminal, say circuit A and turn on an led on a different output terminal but connected to circuit A.
Fig 1.
I was thinking of something similar to the diagram shown below in fig 2.
Circuit A: Motor in series with potentiometer, also on circuit A but a different terminal turn led on.
Fig 2.
When the switch is pressed the other way I would like the the circuit to power off, I am not sure what to do for this part or if I am correct in what I plan to do in the other part of the circuitry. Any assistant would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
