Hi I am trying to make an electric gear shift for a Boat.
The system is 12v DC and I am using a car wind screen motor to pull/push the gear leaver. As I am at the front of the boat and the gear shift is at the back I need to be able to control the motor by the push of a button 1 for Forward 1 for Revers and 1 for neutral.
I have managed to make the motor go to reverse and forward but what I can`t manage is to make the leaver stop automaticly at neutral going in either direction.
ie: With gear shift in neatral Push forward button motor goes forward
Push reverse button motor goes into reverse
Push neutral button motor goes to neutral from
either direction.
To make the motor reverse I have reversed the polarity via a relay.
