Hi Michael.
Thanks very much for your helpful info. Along with
the info Ray and Ian and other members
sent me, it added to my education regarding pulse
width modulators. I think I have a pretty good
idea of how the pwm works now, thanks to all the
helpful info from members here.
I just need to make sure if I buy one that it is
the correct one for my 24 volt minnkota motor.
I appreciate your offer of the robot book that has wiring schematics in it, but unfortunately I
cannot read a wiring schematic
and do not understand the symbols on it except for
just a few. But it was kind of you to offer it.
Richie sent me a way to contact Silent submersion
dpv scooters. He says they have a motor controller that
is exactly what I need. I need to get
with them and find out if their product will work for me. If it does, then
great!
If it doesn't, then my next choice is to use the
pwm circuit board with a pot controller. I looked at the one Ian sent
me
that is on e bay. It appears I can remotely install
the pot in my cockpit away from the main circuit board which I could
house in my battery pod. Then I could put the pot
in a camera housing or pvc pipe and install those O ring stems with
attached ports in the camera housing or pvc pipe. I
am just wondering that if I install the pot in the cockpit, that will
mean
I will have to run a length of wires from the
cockpit to the battery pod. I am wondering if the resistance of the wire would
affect the
performance of the pwm in any way? One way or the
other I will eventually get this completed. I am now
at the point in the reconstruction of my sub,
where it is time to hook up the battery pod and motor controller.
Thanks again for your help.
Bill Akins.
