My application requires a small DC motor (12V, .5A) to drive a rotating platter slowly clockwise, reach a limit, then autoreverse, turning at the same speed back to the starting point and stop.
A simple outline of the process:
1. Load a test part onto the platter
2. Press a momentary pushbutton to start the motion cycle.
3. Wait for the platter to rotate, counter-rotate and stop back at the start point.
4. Unload the test part
5. For the next test part, go back to step 1.
Using relays is perfectly fine for this application, as I expect to put a snubber on the motor to deal with the small back EMF when reversing.
I've looked thru the existing posts for something that precisely defines my application but haven't seen anything thus far. Any ideas?
