No. no, thats fine. It just means I will have to put some time aside to have a good read. Thanks for you help tho guys, I'm sure i'll be back if i need more help :)

Hey, thanks for that Ante. I think i will probably have a go with *33. Just 1 question, that project uses a 6V supply, what is the easiest way of converting it to 9V? Would I have to step down to 6V to power the oscillator and have a direct supploy of 9V to the switch? Cheers :)

Hi, I dont know much about building circuits and such like but I am trying to adapt some equiptment of mine. It is a device the runs from a 9V alakline battery and powers 2 motors. It is currently controlled by a micro switch but I want to be able to vary the speed of the motors. I found that the 2 motors have a resistance ot 2ohms which should equate to ~10W, I think? Standard potentiometers aren't rated this high and I haven't seen any suitable. What would I need to do to decrease the power through the pot to control the motor speed and what rating pot/components should i use? Thank ou very much for your help :) Schiller.
