Hi,So let's start with this, I don't have a lot of electronics circuits background and not really an idea on how to build an electronic circuit.
Ok, now the problem, at my job I am in need of controlling a 24VDC 0,570 Amp pump with a pot, preferably one with a "preset" in it so that the values can easily be recreated. But given my very limited electronics background, I have no idea how to start with this, not even a clue on how to start searching for the needed items. I know by some research that I will be in need of a PWM controller, but again, no clue on how I would have to choose one.
Any help is welcome and extra information can be provided if it is needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help!Kind regards,

Jerre

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
