Hello incredibly smart people! I have a general idea of electronics and wiring but once math, terms, and knowing exactly what I need gets involved I am completely lost. This is where this community comes into play.
Project:
So I have an AC motor, AC water pump, and small contact switches that I need to work in conjunction with eachother. The entire circuit should be wired to work with a 120V AC outlet (plug).
Process: When Contact Switches make contact, the motor and water pump shall run for 50 seconds and then turn off, awaiting the next time that the switches make contact.
What I'm sure of: I'm sure I will have to write an extremely small code for this but I have no idea where to start. I do have an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 but that runs off of a usb, which is DC as far as I understand so I would have to rig something up. Unless someone has a better idea or piece of technology to buy. I am trying to keep this as simple and small in size as possible.
The attachment below has all the specs and is somewhat of a diagram.
Thank You All for your help in advance!
