Hello,
In advance I would like to thank you guys for any help you can provide.
Here is the basics of what I am trying to accomplish. I am revamping my current toilet paper dispenser. It was a basic DC motor mounted behind the toilet with a rope attatched to it that ran through two pullies. On the other side of the rope was a roll of TP that when you press the switch it would drop down in front of you and when you were dont you flip the switch the other direction to pull it back up. Now for the problem. Because limit switches were never built in drunk ppl would leave the switch in the up position instead of the nuetral and burn up my motor. I have as of now removed the vent fan above my toilet so that i can mount a new TP dispenser in the ceiling with a door that opens. I am looking for some easy, drunk proof, reliable methods of controlling the motor. I am fairly new to electronics so I would prefer to not get into something too complicated. I would like a design almost like an elevator where you press the button and the thing comes down and you press it again and it goes up. Thanks for any creative ideas.
