Thanks so much for this tutorial! It worked great but I did need to change the pwm frequency on the arduino or else the motor made a loud humming noise.

Fantastic video, exactly what I needed. I'm just having a problem disconnecting the signal, if have made both cuts however the original potentiometer still controls the motor. I was wondering if I needed to cut the thinner wire to the left of the second cut (when board is in portrait) as I still measure a voltage over that.

Great video, thank you, very helpful. I have been trying to get this same concept to work with an ESP32 instead of Arduino but my motor simply does not respond to the PWM signal I send to the XY-1260. My code works, I have tried with an LED instead of the motor and it fades according to the duty cycle. Could it be that a 3.3V PWM is not enough for the Motor Controller? Or am I overlooking something else? Thank you

Sir, your videos are awesome and I appreciate your videos. I just ordered both the speed controller and ardunio. My plan is to build a cooling fan controller for a pickup. I'm guessing it would be possible to write the code in a way to slowly ramp up the fans from say 50 percent duty cycle to 100 percent while having the fans come on and off based off of coolant tempature? I have a lot to learn about this however is my project obtainable?

@@robojax thank you for responding. This is good to hear. Glad to know I'm not chasing something impossible with this. So current plan, come on a 50 percent when coolant reaches 205 degrees than ramp up to 100 percent slowly. Run until coolant tempature drops to 195 than shut off. I also want to have the fans come on when the air conditioner is switched on. Thinking run fans at 65 percent with A/C. If coolant temp gets to high with A/C on than fans ramp to 100 percent. Once coolant temp gets to 195 with A/C still the fans return to 65 percent duty cycle. Hopefully I can tap into the existing two wire coolant tempature sensor. I hate to bug you on this but can you think of any extra parts I would need? Some of the issues I'm thinking of are powering the ardunio when ignition is on. I suppose a 12V relay directly powering the speed controller and board could fry it. Also how to get the A/C signal 12V positive to the board without frying the Ardunio or the trucks PCM. Thank you again

I don't know about many other components you are will be using. I assume you want to control a fan connected to this module . Then you will need a temperature sensor. to power your arduino, you will need a very basic power adapter that converts AC to DC with output of 6V to 15V.

@@robojax yes control the radiator cooling fan with this. I purchased a temperature sensor. It's that Dallas one wire. It has one wire bus plus the other two inputs. By A/C I meant Air condition. The air conditioner compressor will supply 12 volts power I can tap into. Hoping to have that signal the ardunio to turn the fans on at 60 percent while still monitoring the water temp. If water temp gets to high with air conditioner on than fans ramp to 100 percent just as if the air conditioner was off. I did the mod like you did on this video. When I key on the truck I'll have a relay supply voltage to the module. I have the ardunio getting power from the module like you showed on the video. As far as modding the controller I think I got it right. I wish I could upload a photo to show you how I did it to see if it's correct. Right now I have it controlling a head light.

I was following along the video, but when I connect the power from the board to the arduino vin and the board ground to the arduino ground, the motor board shuts off (led light goes out), when I do not connect the ground but only connect the vin power, the motor starts but can not be controlled.
