Build a variable speed control for trolling motor

So today I built a variable speed controller for my #minn kota endura c2 #trolling motor (changed from forward 5 speeds and reverse 3 speeds to infinitive gear) using #PWM (pulse width modulation) technique. I also connected it to a 4-in-1 volt, amperage, watts, energy #meter to show how the current is being drawn when I switch gear.


It allows the battery to run longer because the amperage drawn is more continuous than vertical jump when I switch gears in 1-2-3-4-5. Now, the gear is changed from 0-0.01-etc. it is controlled by a dial button on the PWM. so i get infinitive gears, hence a more smooth amperage.

check out my PWM variable speed control video here - hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGoYmJ81xrs

My next video is to build a variable speed control for my foot controlled motorguide 70 pound push motor with 24 volts battery.
