DC blower speed control
The motor is DC PM motor, 24V,17A max draw. I would like to control the speed through a digipot? to a momentary switch, on-off-onto increase/decrease blower speed. I am currently using a Critical Velocity PWM controller, to noisy, tried caps, twisted wires, etc. This is a partial schematic of a blower circuit from my Honda. I am electronically deficient, so be gentle.
My limited understanding is that through an amplifier, NPN transistor, and feedback loop, voltage can be regulated through the Power Transistor to the ground of the motor to regulate speed. The switch was not shown in the schematic(it's changed as part of an assembly) nor where/how it connects to the circuit, at least to me. I assume it must tie into the inputof the amp, but that's all I'm assuming. I have no part numbers or values, or no why these components are used. The blower in my car has worked fine for six years, so why not upgrade the components for voltage/current and use it .
Thanks
