So I built a stir plate from scratch.
I bought the following
8"x6"x4" project box
5K Ohm Potentiometer
Led light
On/Off Toggle Switch
Wire
Heat Shrink Tubes
9 Watt 300M Power Supply
Power Jack Adaptor
Power Jack
Had:
2 RE Mags
1 80mm Fan (from really old comp)
Cost $35
Hooked all together and it worked but not like I wanted it to . The fan only works if the POT is set on high. Then I can adjust it lower but if I go too low the fan stops spinning.
The original plans call for an 80mm fan with a 500 ohm Pot. As you can see I got a 5K and 80mm.
Is it the POT or the fan? Or do I need to get both?
Any help would be great...
Thanks
