Hi.
I have a 9V Laser Line Receiver which has two identical Custom Monochrome Glass LCD's on each side. They both have up and down arrows which indicate when the receiver should be moved up or down.
I have worked out which pin is for up and which is for down. I have connected my multimeter to what I think is a COM pin and the down pin when the down arrow is visible and it reads a fluctuating (possibly square wave) voltage between + & - 60mV (approx). The frequency reads as 33.4 Hz. When I connect the down pin to what I think is the GND pin it reads 2.5V.
I am wondering if it is possible to connect to these pins in some way and have them control the direction of a small DC motor.
Ideas I already have that may be used together or separately but I don’t know how to implement are amplifying the voltage, detecting peak voltage, motor controller, micro controller.
Any help would be much appreciated. I only have a basic understanding of electronics.
Thanks in advance.
