Hi all!
I'm working on a small project which requires an automated disc to
rotate and stop in 3 positions.
Basically, I have a small 8" disc made of foamcore, which I need to
attach a small motor to. I am familiar with DC wiring and have used
motors like this before, but have never had the need to do anything
more complicated than reversing the polarity.
What I'd like to do, is have some kind of controller, ideally, with
three buttons. When I push button 1, the disc rotates to 120 degrees
from its home position. When I push button 2, the disc should rotate
to 240 degrees from its home position. When I push button 3, the disc
must rotate back to its home position.
Obviously, since the disc is only 8" in diameter, the mechanism will
have to be relatively small. I'm also on a low budget, so whatever I
can do to save money will be useful.
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as I'm not sure
where to go from here.
Thanks everyone!
