Hello. Ive been enjoying CS for a little while now. I started with a popcorn popper. Ive been using a homemade "drum" that is a drill bit for my cordless drill. With that I can roast 2 cups of green with my heatgun. I recently came across a breadmaker and wanted to give that a try. Well, set on "dough," theres the 2 minute pulsing, then it goes continuous. I put a cup of green Sumatra Mandheling in and ran into some trouble. After about 2 minutes the BM shut down and displayed an error code. I got it at a thrift store, so I dont have the manual. I went in and bypassed the thermal protection, but the error is still there. I want to rewire the BM motor so I can plug it in and have continuous bean movement.
Ive searched and read many of the BM threads, and the ones where people describe their modifications. This one was the best I found:

But Id like a little more info. Im in the US and have 120V AC. The motor is a 120V model requiring a 10uF capacitor. I see that wired on the board, but Id like some more information on modifying.
I am perfectly comfortable taking my life in my hands, and have read all the necessary warnings, etc. Im not going to sue anyone for giving some advice
!
Clinto or Cruiserman, do you have any pictures? If Im reading you correctly, you just put the AC directly to the leads of the motor. Is there supposed to be a coil in series with the capacitor? There is a coil on the board, but I cant quite make out how its wired in. There are some resistors, diodes, transistors, etc in the signal path... I just want the motor on!
Thanks in advance.
