Hello, this is my first post so take it easy on me. I hope I don't confuse you with my lack of knowledge of this subject. I had an idea for a circuit I want to build. The problem is I have no idea where to start. I've dealt with very very basic circuits and understand how that works. I have a background in r/c so I can solder, read basic schematics etc. I just need to know what I need and how it goes together. I hope to learn quite a bit in this venture.
Basicly, I need to modify an exsisting circuit. Its a switch that controls a motor. Simply put push up the motor goes forward, push down it goes in reverse, and let go it returns to neutral and the motor stops. Pretty much like a window in your car (it also stops when its done just like the car window) . The switch has 5 wires going to it. I'm not exactly sure why there are so many and what each one is used for. I figured it would need 3 at the most. Is it possible the other 2 are for disabling the switch when its finished its cycle and cannot go any further?
What I want to change for this circuit is I want be able to do a one touch operation (similar to a cars window again). Some models you press the switch down once and it automaticly goes down. Eliminating the need to press and hold it.
Am I looking at a huge undertaking trying to figure this out and building what I want? Thanks so much for your help.
