Reversible A/C Motor ControlI need a way of controlling a 2HP 1-phase motor (possibly 3 phase). I'd be willing to go as far as to put an encoder on it, but I can handle that, I think. The harder part (for me) is to find a way of making a low-voltage or DMX (digital-multiplex 512) type control for it.
