Hi
I am looking for help in building a circuit that will make my electric motor travel in a clockwise direction then after hitting a switch travel in a counter clockwise direction. Think of it like a teeter todder, when the teeter todder hits the ground on the one side the direction of the motor switches and the teeter todder is told to travel in the opposite direction. Can anyone help me out? Any help is very much appreciated. I am told that two limit switches, and a latching DPDT relay. The relay is wired as a bridge to reverse the voltage to the motor each time it is triggered by the corresponding limit switch. I would also need 4 diodes to protect the relay contacts from the motor inductive spike would get the job done but I haven't got a clue what those things are or how to put them together.
That's where you come in... let me know what it would cost for you to build this for me and also how much you would want to ship it
I have a Video that gives a good idea of what I am after, just ignore the gear system and motor location I would want to go directly from the motor to the wooden stick
The motor that I have can be seen at the following link:

The motor already has a time control unit so speed is not an issue at all its strictly the clockwise/ counterclockwise rotation I am after.
Thanks
