I am trying to build a gate project to open and close. So far I have most of the stuff I need to build it but I have a couple of obsticals.
Im working on a relay to switch the direction of the motor and a way to stop the gate once its opened so far so it dosent over swing almost like a switch on a spring but thats kinda hokey. It will be belt driven incase something goes wrong and then it will slide on the pulleys and maybe a way to have a circuit that senses too much pull and shuts off like a saftey. Lastley looking at a saftey sensor for objects between the gates. All in all I really want to learn how this all works and at the same time save me two grand haha.
110vac motor (6 wire config)
Most of the gate and motors info is here:
Thanks to everyone who has helped me along! expecially TillEulenspiegel
