hi.. I am making a simple automatic sliding door with an LDR sensor and a triac to drive the motor.
the problem is when the door is open i dont have an idea to close it. what will i do to reverse the polarity of the motor?

Hello,

What kind of motor do you use?
Also keep in mind that you block the movement of the door when there is something in the doorway.

You can also drive a servo motor with plain DC which is reversed by contactor or relay.
PWM is if you require rpm control.
This is assuming it is not a simple RC servo but an industrial one?
