Hi
I want to control a motor to turn clockwise or anti clockwise with one press of a button I have a h bridge and a sensing switch which goes high at the end of the travel but drops as soon as movement occurs going high to a different switch at the end of the opposite travel can anyone give me an idea of a control circuit I was looking at 2 555 timers as latches thanks in advance

 

You need a bi-stable circuit a.k.a. a flip-flop.

 

Yes, I was planning to use a 555 latch for each side of the bridge. It's how to control it with just one button press that is confusing me. I was trying to work out how to switch the feed from one trigger pin on one 555 to the other

 

Post a circuit diagram and let's see what you have.

 

I have a relay flip-flop reverser circuit if you need it.
One P.B. to operate.

Here is the idea for the switch side sending to the two 2 and 4 pins on the 555 timers

Sound like what I'm looking for. Thank you

 

To be much more clear:

Press and release button.
Motor runs in one direction.
Traveler hits first limit switch.
Motor stops and sits.
Press and release same button.
Motor runs in the other direction.
Traveler hits second limit switch.
Motor stops and sits.

Yes/no?

If yes, this can be done with one DPDT impulse relay. No Arduino, no PIC, no AVR, no 555, and no PDP-8.

That's correct will take a look at PDF later

 

This is a relay circuit I have used in the past, the 2nd is the basic premise, the first incorporates a motor relay.

Another simpler version.

Here's a simple circuit:
