Hi folks,
First time posting and new area for me - I’m a mechanical engineer!
I’m looking to build and electronic circuit for an old farm bale wrapper I am refurbishing.
Im going to fit a magnetic reed switch to the spinning bed to count the revolutions. I want to set up a circuit, so when the reed switch counts up 30 revolutions of the bed (maybe displayed on an LCD) it sends a 12v signal to an electric solenoid on the hydraulic supply and stops the rotation of the wrapper, then a reset button for the next bale.
The whole aim is so someone dosent have to stand counting the wraps on every bale!
Would be interested to hear your thoughts!
Cheers, Mark
