Have seen the posts on stirring yeast and said i have a few of those parts laying around, but i allways do my ferments in two so why not a double Stir Plate........
Made the box with some spare silky oak timber and the top is an offcut fibreglass piece from a motorhome builder, it's the white sandwich panel sides ........
Go to Jaycar and ask for, 2 12v on off switches, 2 nice looking knobs please.......
O and 2 speed controls to suit my fans and 12v power supply ??????????
Answer was you tell us which POTENTIOMETERSyou require, there is a formula that is used to work it out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So being a sheetmetal tradesman in my past life my skills in electrical only go so far......
I'm good with 12v but not this part of Electronics design...
As i look at other posts the only speed control was using voltage selection 5v,9v ..........
Now if i can get the right Potentiometer or a few that work with different power supplies and fan combinations, other builders would know what to buy............
Power supply is Astone HDD case Switching Adapter 100-240v 50/60Hz,0.8A.... output 12.0v 2000ma..............
Both fans are 110 dia DC brushless DC 12v 0.27A..............
So i think the fans are 270ma each, so there is enough power and you could also go up to 1000ma or 1.0A 12 volt fans ...............
Question 1 is, which Potentiometers should i use...
Log single gang 1k 5k 10k 25k 50k 100k 250k 500k 1M
Linear singal gang 500R 1k 5k 10k 25k 50k 100k 250k 500k 1M
Log double gang 10k 50k 100k
Linear double gang 10k 25k 50k 100k
Question 2 would be, if others want to build a stirrer would the Potentiometer be different with other single fan and small 12v ma power supplies..........
