USB Motor Speed control..

Sep 03, 2005 1 Replies

how easy/tricky is it to build a USB device that can control a motor speed? Just a smal electric motor that needs to ramp between a few different RPMs, no specific precision required..; just needs to be able to start/stop the motor, and change its speeds to a few different preset levels ..



I'm presuming that driver interface would be the harder of the 2 parts of dev (driver and hardware) .. What kind of hardware is best used to design a circuit like this?



Any pointers for pre-made circuits like this?



Thanks in advance!
