I picked up a poplite for a buck saturday. ANy suggestions for modding it out are requested. Is the motor dc or ac? Dc would enable me to boost the motor not just dim. Hmm... Maybe i should open it up. Thanks in advance.

I hope to do this without spending more than maybe 20 bucks more. I have one router controller. 1 bypass vacuum motor, some heatgun coils. And a 1080w p2 knockoff guts to work with. Too bad i dont have two router controllers. So thats the challenge.

Forgot to mention i did one roast tonite and had to hold it backwards to prevent beans from flying. It worked. WiIl compare next to the same done with a p 2. In the morning i mean. And after the breadmaker is back up, i can start it. The project i mean. Bmhg will be posted in the bmhg section.

The breadmaker languishes. But i tried a little mix and match today. And discovered that the roast chambers interchange. So when i do get to this mod, the first thing i will do is use the poppery2 knockoff roast chamber on this. I will need to make 4 holes to mate everything up. The motor is dc. Will run it with a linear regulator. Can someone tell me what is a safe maximum voltage to drive a popper motor with. I plan to remove the diode bridge to gain an extra 1.4 volts, so that must be accounted for. No sense having it there if im not driving it with ac. Thanks in advance. Ben
