p1 POWER
sends a signal through the circuit.
The
i5 SLIDE DIMMER
controls how much power goes to
the DC motor.
The speed and direction of the
o25 DC MOTOR
depends
on how much signal it receives from the slide dimmer. Since
the o25 DC motor is in variable (
VAR
) mode, its speed and
direction is dependent upon how much signal it receives
from the slide dimmer. If the slide dimmer is in the middle
the wheel should be stopped. A full signal from the slide
dimmer will make the wheel spin counterclockwise (
CCW
),
while no signal will make the wheel spin clockwise
(CW
).
HOW IT WORKS
This switch controls the direction the motor
spins. Changing the mode on the switch will
change how the Spinmate moves.
