I have a gear motor that will run from 3v-12v. @ 75ma. It runs to fast for my application on my 12v supply and the gears are to noisy. What is the cheapest and safest way to drop the voltage from 12v to 3v? I have tried a pwm and it doesn't do well and i don't want to use more gears. 6v is quieter but still to fast. This is where i came up with the idea of using 3v to power the motor.
I did use a few of diodes in series and accomplished the 3v but it not only lost it's strength but wasn't regulated enough to make the full revolution under pressure of the tray that it's turning.
Just some suggestions will do. Thanks
