Hey all,
Been a while since I've done some real electronics and I'm having a headache with a project.
Problem: To create a circuit in which the motor turns one way to a certain angle then back the otherway to the opposite angle. I.e. Its going to the be driving force behind a head that constantly looks left to right.
My solution thus far...
To have a arm that is at a right angle attached to the drive (in this case in line with the nose on the head) when this arm gets to a micro-switch (or similar) on one side it activates it and it begins its return journey to the same setup on the other side and the chain begins again.
I have the motor with two polarities rigged up... however i think im going to need some form of relay/ control circuit for this relay.
Maybe the answer to this is obvious but im too deep within this to see it...
help please..
Many Thanks
Ben
