I have a 12 volt linear actuator that I am hoping to use to open/close a door in my chicken coop at certain times in the day.
The linear actuator has built in limits and operates at less than 5 amps, but I would rather use seperate limit switches to control the amount of stroke the actuator has.
I am thinking of using a 12V power supply connected to a digital timer to send power ( + - ) in the morning to open the door. I would then use a different timer to send power (- + ) in the evening to close the door.
Any ideas how I can make this work, (using relays and micro switches)?
Any help would be appreciated.
I will by beer
