Hello folks, im new here. I need help with ideas or methods in creating a circuit for a project at school.
Im using a high torque low speed dc motor, 5rpm, 12v, 5amps. It supposed to work like this:
I push a knob, the motor turns on, rotates the shaft about 145degrees, hits a limit switch(of some kind) automatically reverses the polarity to reverse the motor direction.
The motor turns, until it reaches back at its initial position and shuts off when it hits another switch(of some kind,a limit switch?) note that the motor is not making a complete rotation.
I am only pushing the button to turn on. The system must automatically reverse and stop by itself.
Any help and ideas, circuit diagrams will be helpful. Im not knowledgable about circuits however. Im a student pursuing mechanical eng bsc.
