Re: Digispeed PWM motor controller

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I'm very interested in the Digispeed.

What determines the maximum sized motor I can run? As I understand
it, the Digispeed simply replaces the manual control knob function of
an existing PWM speed control allowing computer control.

Whether I'm running a 12V 2A motor or a 120V 18A motor, and a
properly sized PWM speed control for each, does the the Digispeed
even care what current is drawn at what voltage? Help me out here,
I'm just not quite sure how the Digispeed works with different sized
motors/speed controls. Thanks.
