Hi,
I'm building a test rig to stress motorcycle starter motors. I want to have an actuator that I can program so that it will trigger the starter motor over a variable period of time, every 15 minutes, every half hour etc.
I also need to be able to program how long it is actuated, i.e. 1 second then wait 15 minutes or run for 10 second and then wait for 15 minutes etc.
I am trying to establish how much damage/extra wear the motors receive when run for longer periods (over 1 second at a time etc.).
I will probably run an SSR to actually switch the power to the starter, so I'm just looking for something that will trigger small voltages, 3 V would be ideal.
Any tips/leads are appreciated.
Thanks,
