hi,
im looking to build a simple circuit that will run a DC motor for a period of time, wait for another period while an object is transferred to the device and then run the motor in the opposite direction for another period of time..
ive done a bit of research and it seems the best way to run the motor would be to use a H-bridge.. but i was wondering if anyone had any links to a simple timer circuit that would control the h-bridge? 1 output high for say 5 seconds, off for about 10 seconds and then another output high for 5 seconds..
another option i guess would be just a circuit that makes the motor run one way for about 5 seconds, and then a second circuit that is triggered by a pressure switch that activates when the object is transferred and makes the motor run in the opposite direction.. would that be easier to build than the h-bridge and timer switch with two outputs?
any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!
cheers
