The final intent of this project is to make an LED dimmer that can handle 6 watts.

It just so happens that a motor controller design will work just fine for the project.

The next step would be to have the output drive a transistor instead of an LED.

The transistor will handle the higher power and do the actual switching.

If I were building a full-scale EV motor controller from scratch, I would just go with the Open Revolt design.

This little project is as much to learn about electronics as anything.
