Hi i want to control two 1/2 Hp DC motors with a Pulse Width Modulator. What i want to do is to control the motors with my computer. Does anyone know of a PWM that would allow me to do so?

What kind of power are we talking Volts, Amps..... Probably you will need to use mosfets.

says 1/2hp but depends on motor voltage, etc.

A little more information would be good. What type of software are you using to control the motors?
