I am going to start work on a project that will involve a small turntable motor from a microwave. It is rated at 120VAC, 3.3W, .0275A. I want to slow it down a bit so I am thinking that I can control it via PWM through a mosfet of some kind. However, I think that a mosfet will only conduct one way. How can I accomplish this task? I want to use an arduino of some sort to send the pulse to the controller (mosfet?) and use a potentiometer to speed it up or down.
*edit* I just read somewhere about using a solid state relay and sending the pulses to it to control the speed.
Thoughts/suggestions???
Thanks!
