Digital control of hand drill

1

Hi,

Can anyone assist me to “digitally control a normal hand drill”?

I should be able to turn on & off and have some rpm control

Cheers

Hi Bushan,

It’s hard to say. I’d need to know more about how the drill works. Assuming that the trigger is controlled by variable resistance. You could possibly control it with a digital potentiometer like this one:

I hope that helps. Best of luck on your project!

Thanks Stephen.

It’s a normal hammer drill that you can buy from Bunnings. Link below:

Hi Bushan,

I suggest that you start this project by taking the drill apart and reverse engineering the electronic parts so you can work out how it might be controlled.

Thanks Stephen.

Would you be able to do this for me on a chargeable basis?. I am happy to pay for your service
