Hi guys, I just found this website today and was wondering if I can get some help off of it. I'm doing a safety door mechanism for a school project and I am having some trouble creating a schematic that would allow to open and close a model garage door. I have everything made and the motor works fine, I can change the polaritie with a rocker switch that I wired up.
My problem now is limiting the door to a certain point so that it won't rip off, I have acquired 2 limit switches and 2 relays to help with this.
Pretty much I have a sensor that once is activated sends a signal to the motor to make it start closing the door. I have a limit switch at the top and a limit switch at the bottom for limits of movement. I would then like to press a button that would open the door back and pretty much act as a 'reset' to what it originally was.
I honestly am having some trouble drawing up this schematic and was wondering if you guys have any input on this with maybe how the relays and limit switches are wired. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you if you can.
