Hello everyone,
I am a noob trying to develop a special circuit for a little homebrew project that Iam working on and I do not know enough about the individual components to make the circuit do wat I need.
I am trying to make a circuit that will run on both battery power or by pluggin it in to a standard US house outlet. The circuit will be activated by a switch or button of some kind to start off the process.
Basically what I want to do is have a switch start a motor that would run until its movement triggers a microswitch (forward) once the switch is triggered the motor would holds its position for an adjustable amount of time (between 1 and 3 seconds) then the motor would reverse back to its starting position and stop when it hits a second microswitch (reverse).
When the motor hits the first (forward) microswitch I want another section of the circuit to activate a second componant with the equivalent power of two AA batteries (using the same power supply as the rest of the circuit) in order to run some additional components.
I am basically trying to tie an existing circuit in to my new circuit and I know that it runs off of AA batteries.
What I am basically looking for is some help identifying the correct parts to use to make this circuit work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. as I said, I am very new at this and I am just trying to learn.
Thank you
