Hi all,
I'm currently designing a product which requires a reciprocating motion from a rack and pinion (driven by a 12V DC motor). I've been informed it's easy to do using a latching DPDT relay and 2 puch switches (one located at either end of the rack's stroke so it is pressed by the rack, reversing the current to the motor and so on in a reciprocating motion). I have a severe lack of electronic knowledge and, although I'm beginning to work on it, I need your help on this one.
I've found a latching DPDT relay:
**broken link removed**
and I assume I will use a couple of push-to-make switches?
Could anyone explain / demonstrate how the components would be wired together?
I hope you can help!
Joe.
