Hi there,
I'm brand new to this forum and I'm sure I will have posted this in the wrong place so I must apologise in advance because I'm unsure as to which topic to post the question under.
I'm wanting some help to design a 12V circuit to do carry out the following:-
- When a momentary switch is pressed, an actuator (or motor with gears and a stop to prevent it spinning continuously in either direction) runs in one direction until it reaches the end of its travel.
- When the momentary switch is released, the actuator/motor returns to its resting/original starting position.
I'm an automotive technician with a number of years experience in wiring and can read and understand schematics.
The circuit is to control an active air brake (rear spoiler) that will tilt upwards by pressing the brake pedal (a momentary switch will be placed underneath the pedal) and stop when the spoiler has reached its maximum upwards tilt angle (unsure how to achieve this). Once the foot is lifted off the brake pedal (and the momentary switch is released), the spoiler will return to its resting position (flat).
I've read up and familiarised myself with linkages etc so am able to control the mechanical side of things but need to be able to control it with input from the brake pedal.
Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, David.
