Re: Electronic Speed Controllers for DC Motor
It's only 1 amp and its the approximately the correct voltage so I wonder if you could drive it directly from the pwm? I don't really know the properties of the pwm signal, but if it goes from a duty cycle of ~0% - ~100%, it might just cut it. If not, I am pretty sure that the RC world does use the same pwm signal. I wish I could say for sure, but if you could find some rc speed controller to test it on, I would.
