Hi, I recently bought a Spindle motor with speed controller from china, link below. And now my plan is to replace the supplied pot with some logic to be able to set speed from G-Code. Non the less, do anyone have experience with similar speed controllers? If so, is it a voltage or current controlled input? Or is it some other form of control, like 555 based where replacing the pot is far harder? If it is voltage controlled, I was thinking of using a LTC2644 as a bridge from the supplied PWM to a voltage level. Any info is appreciated. //Kind regards.

From one of the reviews: --- Quote ---Very carefully! It is not galvanically isolated. The potentiometer wires are also galvanically connected to the mains. You have to solve the touch protection! Install a FI relay! There is nothing to limit the switch-on current. Appropriate NTC installation is recommended! No noise protection. It is necessary to install an appropriate suction guard! It can be used after replacing the deficiencies. --- End quote --- With the potentiometer at mains potential, it is not just a matter of throwing in a DAC. Note that another version of the controller exists with a 0-10V input for speed control: |

Thank you for that note, I shall order the proper one then! :) |
