Hello,
This is my first post and I am looking for a nudge in the right direction.
I am working on a project that involves a rail shuttle system. This will work exactly like a printer ink shuttle.
A small shuttle will be mounted on a rail and will slide from end to end.
I want to run this shuttle with a small DC motor and a hand held switch.
What I need the help on is the wiring and I know this will most likely be a simple project for most of you wiring is not my forte.
So I want a limiter switch that will turn the motor off when it reaches one end and the hand held switch to turn it back on so it will run back the to other end, again with a limiter off switch.
I am undecided if I am driving this system with a belt and stationary motor, or having the motor ride along with the shuttle. But lets say it rides along so there arent 50 ways of doing this.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
If a simple to read wiring schematic could be made up for this purpose that would be GREAT! (Like tony)
Thanks a bunch.
