Hi All,

Does anyone know the circuit for run the 12VDC motor for 10 second and stop then run other direction for 10 second and stop. I am looking for circuit for both direction of motor and each direction run for 10 second.

Thanks, for your help in advance.
Kevin.

For the timing use a 555 timer or similar device wired as a monostable.

Then you can use a H-bridge to control the motor.

Remember you should allow time in-between switching the motor between one direction and another. Some H-bridges will not stop you from turning both directions on at the same time causing a short on the MOSFETs which usually leads to a release of the magic smoke or at best reduced efficiency.

@ tom66.
why I asked about relays is that OP might have more trouble using H bridges more than he could bargain for.
