Questions & Answers

As I will be putting it in a plastic project box, I was wondering how much heat it will produce. ?

I think as long as there is a small amount of room in the box, you will be fine. There should be some air flowing over the unit, and you can always cut a few slits behind the potentiometer. Heat syncs are made of aluminum and have a good size, but the only thing I've observed is radiant heat as I've seen with other enclosed electronic devices. With the two units I have, I haven't had a problem at all, and they are both You should always err on the side of caution, always make sure there are air flow holes / slits on the product. Thank you, Oldskool Red, I hope this helps

It is stated in the write up that this allows changing the direction of an electric motor. What does this mean? Does the ccw & cw of the motor can be controlled by variable pwm currents?

With such a control, a dc motor's speed will be controlled within a specified range of voltage. Neither the motor nor the gearbox are reversed

Are you using a discrete controller or a continuous controller?

It doesn't make sense to ask that question. An electronic signal comprising a continuous wave can vary in duty cycle according to the definition of PWM. A capacitor across the output of these devices can smooth the output a bit (also called a filter) - almost all of them emit a square wave. As the final shape of the transistor is determined by the current draw and the size of the capacitor, discrete is often called "digital". To some, a square wave looks 'digital' however, PWM does not represent a discrete signal, and the wave is in fact generated by analog electronics, not by digital technology (in this application). It is clear that PWM can be generated by an Ardunio or other digital processor.

Can a 775 motor be used for this?

I have found that the 775 motor requires a minimum power supply of 12 volts and 5 amps to function properly. Providing the power supply is strong enough, this controller should be able to handle it.

For the money, this is a great 12V controller
4/5

In the kit I received, there was a very simple circuit using a 555 timer and a TO220 RU7088R 6mOhm N-Type transistor. This CMOS device uses a TO220 fly-back diode called the SBR40100. By using the radiator fan from a car that drew 11 horsepower, we achieved the desired results. In a thermal imaging experiment with a thermal camera, the unit has shown a rise in temperature on the PCB of about 14C and a rise on the heat sink of about 9C after just 20 minutes of usage at 90% duty cycle. It is quite surprising to see that the cheap, no-name 7812 voltage regulator was one of the hottest components on the board. It isn't too bad, but it isn't the best. (I suspect the situation would be worse with a higher voltage supply) Not surprisingly, the obviously cheap PCB traces were one of the hottest parts of the board with 11+Amps flowing through them. Although the ratings on the FET are not bad (70V / 80A), I would not advise going anywhere even close to that because the flyback diode is only rated for 20A since one leg of the diode is used for reverse polarity protection. For this test, I scoped the piece and ran a little torture testing on it to be sure it wasn't a total disaster that would blow up at any moment. As a result, the edges of this fan managed to be controlled softly enough so that the voltage was kept below 16V (on a supply of 13V). There is no way to quantify flyback without knowing the inductance of the motor you are using, so it is hard to speculate on the limits of this piece. To my mind, it would be better to keep the loads at or under 24 V When the motor is operating under a really heavy load, I might need to add extra filter caps to the If the PCB is beefed up with additional wires to share the current through the motor control path, then I'd estimate it would be able to handle 15A switching of moderately inductive motor loads at 12V without needing to change out the fuse. As the device is used beyond its rated operating voltage and current, these issues are likely to get worse.

There is no safe way to solder! In the condition shown in the above picture, the unit arrived
3/5

I bench tested it despite the scary soldering and it did not work at all. At the moment, there is no There appeared to be significant quantities of solder in this example, which manufacturer attempted to remove with a sharp object instead of reflowing. It is unsafe.

So far, all three rounds have been successful
5/5

Three of these are used by me to control my telescope remotely A Peltier cooler is powered by one controller and two controllers, and the sixth one powers the dew heaters. Despite six months of use, all three are doing very well. It should be noted that the three pins on the white plug are connected By using this method, you are able to read the current pot position into an A/D circuit (i. e. My design involves cutting the trace between the pot center pin and the onboard IC, connecting the IC to the center pole of an SPDT switch, connecting the pot center pin to one terminal of the switch and attaching an Arduino analog out pin to the other terminal. I can flip the switch toward the pot to allow manual control, or I can flip the switch away from the pot to allow.

A low power DC pump (19 watts) is sufficient for this device
5/5

For air cooling loop (liquid cooled PC), I use this to control the speed of an inexpensive DC pump (BLDC). An average cooling loop would require only a fraction of that amount of power. You don't have to be too concerned about speed as long as you can The reason I bought the PWM controller was because of the advantages it offers. I found it easy to use and that it handled the pump with excellent resolution out of the box. My softness can be described as follows Approximately half the speed of the pump should be used Place it in the top left corner of your screen. If I added more cooling blocks and radiators, I could try to accelerate it if that made sense. Using ten as an example PWM controllers run cool and quiet even when they have 19 watts of power running through them. Electrical noise does not appear to be present According to the design of it and the size of the heat sinks, I would put it between 100 and 150 It is recommended for a controller like this to be capable of running at 150W constant load.

I had only handled 10A at 12V for 15 minutes before it blew
3/5

My experience with PMW controllers was that two of them would not last 15 minutes at rated load before blowing up. In this case, the system blew for about 15 minutes and got up to its rated load. Even though these units cost about 5%, two of them handled 130% of their rated load without blowing up. In my opinion, this is a false advertisement for the load and is therefore cheap. There is a good chance that this is actually a 5A or 7A device. Their device was intended to be a five-amp device, but they marked it a ten-amp one.

I've been using this with my 3018 PRO and it works well
4/5

In order to connect a 24v 20k spindle to the PWM power supply, I purchased an additional 24v power supply. Upon the lowest setting, it spins only at a very low rpm, and then goes to full speed at the highest setting. Some quality issues remain, however. On the bottom was a lot of solder splatter that I had to mop up, and one of the heat sinks wasn't assembled correctly. I am eager to see how long I can hold on for but we have been successful thus far.

The one from Monsterguts looks exactly like this one
5/5

This one was perfect for a Halloween wiper motor prop I was making. The one from monsterguts looks exactly like this, but it doesn't have the excessive I recently bought another type of PWM motor controller for double the price and it made the motor erratic and made the lower speeds noisey. Overall, that controller ended up being returned.

This laser exhaust controller is known as the K40
5/5

The laser exhaust controller I just got for my K40 laser just arrived. I found this to be very easy to install, it feels sturdy, and so far I'm very happy with it, I can control how loud it is while cutting, and when I don't need it I can just turn it off. I highly recommend this fan for laser cutter exhaust fans!.
