hi, I am new to the electronics world and am really interested in the subject
I got a problem while doing a DIY project , the details are under
Project : Converting a manual car jack to automatic
Resources available and things done :
I have been able to get a 6 v DC motor with its gears(found one in a children toy car which has a capacity to pick a load of around 12-18 kg)
I have successfully attached the motor gears with the jack
Requirements and problems being faced :
The toy car operated with a 6 volt 7.2 Ah SLA? battery
I want to get the motor connected with a cigarette lighter socket in my car which operates at 12 volt and there has a fuse labelled with 15 amps max in the fuse box
Basically what i have understood is that i have to convert the 12 volt to 6 volt without decreasing the current because the motor will draw the current what it needs , right ?
I want some directions in making such a circuit
What i found out was that i can use only some resistors to do the job, or use some voltage regulator like LM317 ???
