Hi,
I'm having some trouble finishing my egg turning mechanism for an incubator.
I've had some help in the past developing a schematics for a 12v motor, but I didn't find a suitable 12v motor with high torque and slow RPM so now I'm trying to solve this problem with another motor, but 220v this time.
The solution I had involved a car windows elevator motor (12v about 60rpm 3A) programmed by a clock that turned every 2 hours. It would turn until it hit a limit switch and stopped until it would turn the other way after 2 hours and so on. The DC polarity would be reversed with some car SPDT relays. I also had some manual buttons to control the turner manually when needed. I have tried to slow down this motor using pulley wheels but i didn't manage to get it solved. Still too fast.
Now i'm trying to implement a 220v motor which I don't know much about. The seller told me it would rotate CW then CCW then CW (etc) every time it would be turned ON/OFF. From what I have read over the internet this can be a bit more random than this. This motor is usually used for barbecues (chicken turner) and rotates at 2RPM. I need this to turn about 1/4 every 60 or 120 mins.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
