a small video for you guys

Wow that sucker moves so fast! Impressive.

I was impressed too by the speed of the motor. Wow!

Yep you can find that SPECIFIC MOTOR at sparkfun.

It is not expensive and not with HIGH torque but it is Good for many applications.

normally i dont open a new thread, i really dont like it, so i will continue the next request from you guys here.

If any moderator would like to open a new thread, it is free to do it. My request is related to motors again, but this time to a brushells motors.

I have the following motor

and Detrum driver 25 A

i would like to control very simply the driver with a PIC and a potentiometer

so they way to rotate the potentiometer to speed up the motor via PWM from PIC.

Is that possible?

have a look first of my new design and what i would like to do.

You could do it with a PIC but a $5 servo tester like this would work just as well.

The motors are Brushless type and need a special High current driver (at least 30 Amps).

When a specific driver is selected we can see how to control it.

Hi rmteo,

thanks a lot for your reply, just wanted to use a PIC and a potentiometer, because i would like to understand the programming as well behind it.

Right now i have a reciever and transmitter to do it.

But i would like to use my own pic PWM with potentiometer to send pulses to controller.
