Hello group! I am new to electronic design. By trade I am a mechanical engineer and have limited knowledge on circuit design. I have a small project I am trying to figure out and hoping some of you might assist me on a basic layout. I am trying to help out a friend with an elderly mom who has currently a make-shift dummy waiter/elevator at her 2 story house. She uses it for groceries and other things. Its a very simple system, basically a switch connected to a winch style motor. Problem is second floor or first floor its on/off and have to hold the button until you think where it should stop.
I would like to build a simple system using relays to call the car on the second floor or first, stop where it should using limit switches. The winch system is 120v@20A unit. I was thinking to put all of it in a small enclosure then run wires to the first and second floor with its limit switches installed. Can someone layout a diagram for me on what to do exactly? I just don't know where to begin. I've done research but cannot find something like this.
