SUMMARY

The 6-volt timer and motor control circuit utilizes a 555 timer as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) generator, enabling precise control over motor speed. This circuit allows the motor to operate at speeds ranging from nearly 0 RPM to its maximum RPM. Users have reported issues with viewing attachments related to the circuit, but links to relevant resources have been shared for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 555 timer functionality
  • Knowledge of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) techniques
  • Familiarity with basic motor control principles
  • Experience with circuit diagram interpretation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "555 timer PWM circuit design" for detailed schematics
  • Explore "DC motor speed control using PWM" for practical applications
  • Learn about "circuit troubleshooting techniques" for common issues
  • Investigate "alternative motor control circuits" for comparison
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists building motor control projects, and engineers seeking to implement PWM in motor applications will benefit from this discussion.

I have found this circuit and I was wondering what it did. Does it control how long a motor is running?https://www.google.com/search?q=6+volt+timer+55+motor+control+circuit&safe=strict&biw=1607&bih=834&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMI28KE9-KkyAIVkKWICh2bxQ23#imgrc=TVAXCdSBnuQRPM%3A

No attachment?? At least I can't find it.
 
No attachment
 
Which circuit? I can't see one.

This circuit allowed you to change the speed of a motor by using 555 as a PWM generator. The speed is changing from almost 0 RPM up to the maximum RPM the motor can run.

Thanks. What is "BB code" ?
 
I have had this problem too, inserting some image:

Just this

will be inserted. But if I edit my post, I can see the full image.
