bmcculla said:The best way is to use a NMOS MOSFET as a low side driver and use the PWM output from your processor as an input to the FET gate. Depending on how much current the motor takes this should work. If the motor takes a lot of current or the MOSFET gets hot while in use you can add a MOSFET driver to drive the FET gate with 12V. If you just want on/off control you dont need to wory about the PWM.

Same idea for the mosfet driver (you might not need a mosfet driver if you arn't putting much current through the mosfet).
