Hi,
I am new here and I have a few questions in order to get me started.
The project that I am working on is controlling a treadmill motor via PC and/or monitoring the revolutions per minute from the sensor. I am completely new to Electronics. I have a hobby kit that I have barely used but would like to learn where to start.
The Idea:
Interface a computer program to a treadmill and controll it by touchscreen using windows or linux.
What My question is:
What components will I need, how can you get a computer to control how much power is getting to the motor without potentially frying the computer?
