Hello,
We are a group of students working at a new project.
A blessed soul has donated us tablet - Touchpad HP ? that runs Android 4.0 Cyanogen.
What we want is, first, to find out if we can control a 12V DC motor connecting the tablet directly to it (if possible) and second if we can build a simple timer /controller in Android OS.

Basically, we want to have a simple, intuitive and easy to operate interface on the tablet screen so that:
- be able to set the working hours of a a 12V DC motor (i.e. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and within this schedule, set the number of minutes when the motor is working or not (i.e. work 3 minutes, rest 2 minutes)
- additionally, to control the speed of the 12V DC motor

Please receive our gratitude in advance for any ideea of how we can reach our goal.
