I hope someone may be able to offer me assistance.
Im working on a project that requires an advertising sign to rock back and forth when displayed .The add sign is mounted on a post. Im using a 12 volt 10 rpm dc motor connected to a 12 volt battery. The battery is connected to a 10 watt solar panel. How can I make the 12 volt dc motor change direction of rotation automatically? And continuously?
I was going to use a servo motor to provide the rocking action required however, the servo motor controller requires AC power and this gets more complicated and costly.
Can I connect some kind of relay to automatically switch motor direction? Rotate shaft 90 degrees, change direction, rotate shaft back 90 degrees, etc.
Thank you very much,
