I need a little help with a circuit to run a motor attached to a threaded rod in 3 diffedrent ways. This is kind of hard to explain so I attached a simple drawing that I hope will help. Any questions let me know. Thanks for the assistance.

Yes, the first just needs end stop switches, and suitable wiring, to do it with a single button will require some logic circuitry - but to do it with a simple toggle switch is only wiring.crunch53 said:I would love to use a stepper or servo motor but I'm not very familiar with them and the circuits that run them. What I have available to me right now is a regular DC motor that will run on 3 - 9 volts.
These are 3 different applications I'm workiing on. I was thinking that for the first 2 that micro switches might be able to be put on either the traveler or the ends (stops) on the thresed rod.
I'm just not sure how the wiring would be. The third application I'm not sure how it could be hooked up. Just looking for something as simple as possible.
crunch53 said:Do you have any idea of how to wire the first 2 up?
crunch53 said:Hey, I just got to thinking (what a concept!!!!) How do they get the door to open and close on a CD Rom drive? Isn't that kinda like the number 2 project I'm trying to do. How would that be wired up?
The other thing I found out today is that there are a couple of stepper motors at work that soomeone found that they might be throwing out. Looks like it's from SAIA and the part number is UBB1N05M10CNNA. Is this something I could use and what would the circuit look like to drive this thing?
