Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a controller available which allows a computer to control the speed of an AC motor (110V single phase) motor, like the motor in a centrifuge via a USB port, or even a n RS-232 serial port.
Thanks.

What kind of motor is it? Whether the motor can be controlled and the controller technology depends on the type of motor you have. There are a number of types of AC motors, such as universal motors, induction motors, split phase, etc. They all need a different technology to control the speed.
