Thats interesting Steve. AC motors are much cheaper, but as I understood, you could not get their speed down without them getting very hot. Also they get very noisy/vibrate when being controlled by triac. I have to be able to get its speed right down to near idle, and also reverse. AC motors are perfectly suited to fan operation, so Im interested; please expound more. Are these controllers expensive eg more than $US10? We look to a mass market where price is a consideration.

In case of brushless motors there is a app note I found here:

Reversible and more. I am pleased to have found this article, as it gives me a good insight as to hardware required. However, I need to sense temperature too and may use my trusty AT89C2051 with the a/d port (need to sense temperature) for development, but for reliability may have to go to the AT89LP2052 with brownout or similar since its a mains jobby.

Alistair.
