Hi,
I'm pretty new to electronics, and I need some help with a small project. Hopefully someone here can help?
I need to control the speed of 5 small, 5 volt dc motors wired in parallel. I've been told that a PWM circuit is the best and most effective way to do this. Reading up on 555 IC based circuits, I believe that they are only recommended for 5 - 12v applications(?)
Can someone confirm or deny this? Or perhaps provide a simple, inexpensive alternative circuit that will suit using a variable resistor to control speed?
