Dear Sir
I am building a electric spinning wheel for my wife using a 12v DC 17w coreless motor.
I will be using a Auduino uno and a md 10 motor shield.
I want to be able to adjust the motor speed with a potentiometer and motor direction with a 3 position switch ( forward off reverse)
I also want the motor to ramp up to preset speed set by variable pot and to ramp down on stopping (start stop by foot switch)
Is the above possible.
Very best regards
Noel Nugent.
Welcome to our forums! Yes, doing this is possible. We recommend to start by using a potentiometer to directly control the speed of the motor (one direction), then adding the 3-position switch, and then finally adding the foot switch and ramp-up code. Do you already have the parts or need any help with the selection?
