so i am working on a open-ended project for school, and its my first foray into electronics
for our specific project, we want to control two motors, each multi-dimensional, so four total movements
we want them to happen in a controlled order, specifically close-in-out-open-close-in-out-open-etc.
we would like to trigger each movement by the conclusion of the previous movement
while we have figured out a way to make each motor switch direction, we have had a hard time making one motor start the other motor at the same time as stopping itself
i thought about using some sort of IC that could trigger the different flows instead of manually turning flows on and off, but i do not know if/how to do this
i stumbled upon the L298N motor chip, but i'm not sure if this is really what i need and if so, how to use it
any advice on where to look for information would greatly be appreciated
