Hi all,
My youngest daughter and I were clearing up our garage and she said to me "can we make something daddy", so I said yes, of course.
I found an old hand-held drill and we set about taking the motor out of it etc...and turning it into a 'table top' go-cart for her doll.
Now, we started thinking about making a 'real life' sized one, but I know nothing about electric motors/electronics in general.
Would something like this:
[1st link below.]
be able to control something like this:
[2nd link below.]
?
I can see that they are both 12v, but it's the ampage that has me confused.
Obviously, I'd like to be able to control the speed on a dial - similar to the pot on the first link.
To start with however, I think she (and my other daughter) would just delight in being able to speed up and slow down a wheel (or a set of wheels like a train) by simply turning the knob.
I'd like to be able to run it as very slow speeds - like 10-15 rpm as well as speed it up.
If this is not possible with the items linked, could someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction with regards to controllers/motors?
