| Jan 3 at 18:56 | comment | added | Sophie Swett | @Camaro46 You should tackle these steps one at a time; don't worry about step 2 until you're done with step 1, and don't worry about step 3 until you're done with step 2. If all of this sounds complicated, then I recommend following a walkthrough or a course that's related to what you want to do, and then when you come back to this project, it will be much easier. | |
| Jan 3 at 18:53 | comment | added | Sophie Swett | @Camaro46 There are several kinds of controllers that do different things, and we don't know what you're ultimately trying to do, so we don't know what kind of controller you need. There are three steps you're going to need to follow. Step 1 is to decide what you want the motor to do—do you just want it to run at a constant speed or do you want to do something more complex? Step 2 is to figure out what type of signal you need to send to the motor in order to get it to do that. Step 3 is to figure out what device you can use in order to produce that kind of signal. | |
| Jan 3 at 18:52 | comment | added | Justme | @Camaro46 The documentation says what kinds of control signals it supports. If you want to buy what you call a "controller" then buy one which has any type of output the motor accepts as input. We cannot tell you what to buy. | |
| Jan 3 at 18:48 | comment | added | Camaro46 | no i havent found what controller to get in docs so thats why i asked which one i need to get | |
| Jan 3 at 18:46 | comment | added | Justme | @Camaro46 Asking what to buy and from where is off topic. Can you find the part about the control signal in the documentation you posted? There is a clear description of what kind of signal you need and where you need to connect it. | |
| Jan 3 at 18:43 | comment | added | Camaro46 | could you send me what i need to buy to do that? and also how should i connect it ?Thanks:) | |
| Jan 3 at 18:41 | comment | added | Justme | Give it a control signal according to the specs that makes it spin at the speed you want. | |
