   U are way above my capacity to know what I’m doing with washing machine motors. Most motors I have obtained have been cut out of the frame with maybe(sometimes) a couple wires hanging out. How in the world am I going to even begin with something like that. I’m not electronically astute so that leaves me totally dependent on those who know more. There are several things I would like to make using one of these motors like a 12” sanding disk. But again I have to start by figuring out the wiring & what goes where. I might try to enlist your help if I ever get the nerve to start. I like your post & web site. Thanks
   Claude

   Hi Claude, Thanks for the comment. Have you had a good look at the youtube video I made? There is a table there about 1 min in, that can help you figure out which wires are which. Any specific questions and I will help if I can :)

   Thanks for the post is educative and I will like to use Arduino Uno to control the speed of treadmill motor using opto coupler and tacho meter sensor for constant speed.
   Can I download the same sketch program using only Arduino Uno?
