AFAIK, AC motors usually can only have their rotation speed changed by altering the structure of the motor (number of poles) or by altering the power supply frequency. At any rate, it's not as easy as changing a DC motor. Mike H. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
