Re: Any electronics nerds interested in Arduino/Atmel?

Aha! That must have been what my EE friend at the power company was talking about when he was trying to dissuade me from doing this on my big 240V compressor... he talked about the potential of a centrifugal switch.

I need to read up a little more on single-phase induction motors, as with brushes and no moving fields, they're a little mysterious!
