I have a 9V motor. I need to be able to adjust the speed of the motor, from 0 volts to the 9V max. I have my 9V battery attached to the motor via alligator clips for now.
I know a potentiometer will work, but I've already burned one out messing around...lol. I can't seem to find a pot that fits my scenario...and the Radio Shack people are of little help. (I also tried a dimmer switch from a ceiling fan, but got no current at all through that.)
I'm kinda new to electronic components, so I don't even know what the specs on the pot meant:
250VDC
power rating of .25W
100K Ohm resistance
Anyone have any ideas? Can I build my own? HELP!
Thanks!
