I have a device which is basically a heater. There is an on off I-O switch on the back. What I would like to do is add a pot so i can control how hot it gets.
see my next post for the simplified circuit diagram.
the power terminal that plugs into the back reads "Cos 102F" (is the the phasor?)
and it reads "7A 125V"
What I don't know is, what resistance pot should I get so I can control this load?
I tried putting a 500k ohm pot i had lying around in the circuit, and it only turned it on for about 10% of the knobs total spin. also made the LED flicker.
thanks for any help you can offer
