Hello, Im new to this forum so thought my first post would be a good one. I am an apprentice electronics engineer and would like to find a way to make an apparantly simple circuit.
All I want is: One flick of a switch a motor would spin one way until it hits a limit switch, this would then automatically reverse direction of the motor until it hits another limit switch which turns the motor off. This would be one cycle of the circuit, so whenever that one switch is flicked at the end of the cycle the same switch can be pressed to turn the circuit on.
I thought this would be a simple circuit to make and have produced some which arnt quite right. Using H bridges, and an IC i cant remember. However the main problem is the limit switchs (which ones) and the wiring of them. I have asked many people I would with but no joy so far. Schematics are very much desired.
I apologise for not using many specifics in my brief; I intend on using roughly a 9v powersupply, small 6v DC motor that kinda thing.
Any assistance would be greatly apprecieated as even though the project the circuit was intended for is not going ahead I still want to figure out how to do this. I keep saying to my self it should be straight forward but noone knows!
I shall look forward to you words of wisdom.
