PWM MOTOR CONTROL is used on golf buggies es invilide mobile carts A
pwm CONTROLLER can be got from these people they are 12/24 V dc i USE
ONE FOR PROP PITCH MOTOR CONTROL they have RAMP UP/ DOWN also es can
be controlled by a simple PIC controller/pc even a golf buggie motor
has a built in gear reduction so this could be another way to do
it......
