Hi Everyone-
This post is probably mainly about my misunderstanding about how a Voltage Regulator works, so please bear with me.
I am using an LM350, which I believe is similar to the LM317, save for a higher rating for amperage.
The goal is to drive a 6v DC Motor.
It seems that I am able to get a voltage from nearly 6v to around 1.25v - the latter, of course, is the voltage specified in the datasheet, as some kind of reference voltage established by a resistor across the "adjust pin" and the Vout pin.
Unfortunately, the DC motor keeps rolling along at 1.25v. I think I need to be able to range from 6v to 0v. Can anyone explain to me how I might get the full range of expression? Thanks.
