Hi!
I am new to both home-assistant - and i have stumbled upon esphome - which has got me thinking of all kinds of things that i want to automate.I am a bit of an “audiophile” - and i like to listen to oldschool records.
My record player is upgraded with a dc motor - from a company called origin live.
That means my Turntable is driven by a DC motor. The specification of the motor is not named - but it is hear say that they are of type A-max 110173 from maxon.I believe it’s a brushless motor.
Today i have an external psu - that goes into the Origin Live controlbox - and from there flows the current to the motor.
The control is really simple - as i only has 2 “modes” 33 and 45 rpm - they are “tuned” by 2 variable potentiometers - that i can turn in either direction - to control speed of the currrent setting.
the psu is 12
without knowing much about electronics - it seems that they simply change the voltage going to the motor - and depending on voltage - the motor will run in the “correct” rpms
There are no verification - so i have to manually adjust it to the right speed.
i dont know if there is more to it than this - if so - would i be possible to create an esphome (esp32) with some sort of motor controller board - where you can control the output?
because- then i could control the speed from inside home-assitant - and of course - turning it on an of etc.
