I have an electric motor, 12V...When turned on, the motor instantly goes full speed. When the motor is turned off, it instantly stops. This "full speed or nothing" causes a lot of torque and noise in the apparatus the motor is mounted to.
Basically, I'm wondering if I can have a circuit built that, when turned on, would slowly increase the current (over several seconds) until full speed is reached...AND then when turned off slowly decrease the current (over several seconds) until stopping. Automatic variable resistors? Caps? Magic fairy dust?
The motor I'm using cannot be swapped out for any other type of motor. I can get more info on the motor if that is needed to answer the question.
Is doing something like this possible? I'm obviously a complete nube, take it easy on me
