Hello robotics community,
I have a pretty straightforward question in regards to an art project with a wiper motor and an inverter.
Here's the wiper motor : https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/acdel…r/acd0/15036008
Here's the 12 to 120 inverter :
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sunforce-120-Watt/1000154409 (specs are output 12v 10a)
Wiper motor has five wires : black, purple, green, yellow and grey
Connected it to a car battery, and found that it ran at high speed with black on (-) and purple on (+). No response on any of the other wires, which I did not expect, as my research had seemed to uncover multiple speeds with different configurations.
So my intention is to use the wiper motor with a 12->120 inverter. I connected it to my inverter, and found that the speed decreased substantially, too much decrease for my project.
MY QUESTIONS :
1 . Is the cause of this speed slowdown- the difference in amps output between the car batter and the inverter?
2. Could anyone suggest a DIY on the fly simple analog speed adjustment solution?
(Id love to be able to pick up 100% of my parts at a local hardware store)
3. Any idea on why my other 3 wires are doing nothing? I expected one of those non-working 3 wires to be a slow speed option in the (+) position. It's possible that one of the wires is bad etc.
Blessings to all the helpers in these forums, you are really appreciated!
