Dads don't have to comply to the same rules the boys do. i.e. if we can get a motor on the car and it weighs more than 5oz, thats fine. Purely for engineering fun.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553058"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553056">I have a donor RC dump truck I am going to take the motor and axel out of. I have a NTC CHIP I was going to strap on to control the motor.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553063"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553126">I've got the kernel upgraded to 4.4 and PWM working.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553132"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553134">Am I correct in thinking if I can hook up the motor to the CHIP board I could use PWM to "slow" it down? i.e. if I let the motor spin at full speed the derby car wheels may just sit and spin. If I can send the right amount of pulses I should be able to control the motor speed.<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553168"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553170">The dump truck was powered by 3 x AA batteries, which makes me believe the motor accepts 5V or less, so using the CHIP should not fry it. The motor has a 1 ohm resistor attached and a capacitor with 104 written on it.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553295"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553305">I'm ready to attach the motor to the CHIP, any reason I shouldn't and see what happens?<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553230"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553229">Thanks</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553238"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483239526576_553239">Craig<br></div></div></body></html>
