Hi folks -
I am new to building electronics, and have a project that I would like to complete. The problem is I know what I want to achieve, but not how to GET there. :/
What I am needing to build is a motorized winch system that will (preferably) run off of 120V AC, and can lift approximately 30 lbs of weight at a speed no greater than 1/2 inch per minute (30 inches per hour) - that is the most important thing. I also need the system to have some sort of brakes on it (thus the winch idea) so that I can stop the motor, and not have the weight sink back down. I have searched for various schematics for a system like this, but have not had any success (sorry, but Mechano is not going to cut it in this case).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Garry Wakely
