I need help designing a circuit to control a standard servo to flip up and down a license plate. Before scolding me with how illegal this is i know! Mounted behind my license plate are 24 Infared leds and a micro camera which works amazingly at night! I am trying to keep my bumper as clean as possible. My problem is how to operate the 6v(max) servo to spin a desired distance and stop without using a servo controller. I am not doing this because i thought it was easier not to and cheaper. My idea was to mount two push button or tactile switches that would be pressed when the plate was in the up position and down position to turn the servo off. having a momentary toggle switch to flip it up and down in my cab. As well as knowing which switch is being held in by an led indication. Example, when the plate is in the up position a green light would be on and a red led would be indicated when it is down as a warning light. I would be able to just flip a switch up to flip up the plate and the same switch down to flip down the plate.
Any ideas welcome!
