Conclusion of the circuit to raise and lower a spider for a Halloween event.
I just wanted to let you know that I used Crutschow's circuit to operate my spider. It performed very successfully for the 3 and a half hour event. I was going to load a video of it moving but the file size is 100MB, so...
Harald,
That is brilliant! Much as I was keen to start soldering up a circuit, this is definitely a simpler solution. I'll attach a photo of the spider in full operation, once it is ready.
Hello Crutschow,
Thanks for your continued interest in my project. The objective is to have the spider momentarily touch a push-to-make switch, which will reverse the direction of the motor. When the motor direction is sending the spider upwards, it will touch the upper push-to-make switch...
Hi Harald, many thanks for your feedback. You are correct that the push-to-make buttons will only be pressed momentarily. The purpose is for a Halloween charity event at my school. I have a large papier mache spider, that I want to cycle up and down on a string 'web'. When the spider touches the...
I need to build a 12V circuit that will switch the direction of a motor when a push-to-make switch is pressed. There are two switches; one to make the motor go in one direction and another to reverse the motor direction. I would prefer a circuit design using relays and diodes as my electronics...
