thanks for the relies guys
it is not the case of microcontrollers, because all i need is to have direction and brake control of the motor.
i agree, some people are alergic to microcontrollers. i am not, i plan on learning some stuff about them but for now i cant seem to find a preogrammer, and i dont know what types are less expensive and efficient too. there are lots of microcontrollers that are rated under $1, but here they come at least double in price. about the programming, i dont mind doing some programs, like you said, why should i use 15ICs when i can only use 1?
i dont know why some people seem not to associate computers with electrocnic. i find the computer a useful too, it helps a lot: datasheets, simulations, and all knod of stuff. i gave up the old " one tone" transistor catalogue and other "books designed to use as muscle making weights"
it is really usefull if you have access to the internet, i mean every manufacturer wants to sell more so you can get for free almost every info on some part directly from the suplier.
anyway, back to the motors, i found some things on the net, but i am still hoping for more ideas.
