The circuit in Fig 1 drives a small 24V, 50-Hz motor at about 30 to 40 Hz for use as a chopper motor. The best starting speed for the motor is about half the final running speed. Therefore, the circuit uses an intermediate speed to prevent a stall condition. The circuit uses IC1Ato count down [...]

The transmitter circuit consists of WZ-X01 RF module, Holtek HT-640 encoder and 8-bit A/D converter. U1 ADC0804 converts the analog voltage to digital data; U2 encodes that data (D0~D6) along with D6, D7 and transmitting through the RF transmitter module. The potentiometer VR1 varies the voltage to the A/D U1 pin6, since only the lower [...]

You can drop all off the transistors and resistors if your motors don’t drain too much current. You only need a 74F139 or 74S139 NOT the LS version. The chip can provide peak currents up to 100mA for a short time (
