12v reverse speed control circuit diagram

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks assistance in creating a circuit to control the speed and reverse direction of a 9V motor that can operate up to 24V, using a dual-potentiometer. Recommendations include using a circuit diagram that employs a 555 timer, with output taken from pin 7, and a double pole double throw switch to reverse polarity. The LMD-18200 full H-bridge is suggested for effective forward-reverse pulse width modulation control, allowing for speed adjustments in both directions. Additional details about the motor's specifications are requested for further guidance. This discussion highlights the importance of selecting the right components for motor control applications.

Hi

I have a 9v motor (can run to 24v). I need to control the speed of the motor and reverse the direction. I also wanted to control it with a duel-potentiometer, but i can't seem to find any way to do this. can someone help with a circuit diagram please?
(This is my first time building a circuit so any help you can offer please)

Thanks
Terence

This shows a circuit that looks like what you need.

http://www.dprg.org/tutorials/2005-11a/index.html Note that the output is taken from pin 7 which is unusual but OK in this circuit. Pin 3 is normally the output of a 555.
That would give you variable speed and you would need a Double pole double throw switch to change the polarity of the voltage getting to the motor to reverse its direction.

The motor would be on the right and the input voltage on the left in this diagram.

This National Semiconductor LMD-18200 full H-bridge offers full 3-amp 24-volt forward-reverse pulse width modulation w/braking.You can probably use the PWM to control different motor speeds in forward and reverse. You can also do it with diodes and pots on the output.

Tell us more about the motor rating.

Thanks for the help.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
