Re: Is it possible to control a Jaguar with a potentiometer?

Here is a link to what we use:

You need to lower the value of the output current limiting resistor then it works great.

I suggest you add a current probe to your test rig so you can measure current while you are testing your systems. A 10 gauge wire 12" long works perfect. Use that wire as a shut, it will measure 1 millivolt for 1 amp. There are several threads here that discuss that scheme. Do a search for stangsense.

Here is a photo of our rig that can control two motors. In this photo the motor is running and drawing 3 amps. By having this information you can know that your motor is running within the correct range and that the magic smoke will remain.
