    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    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...

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    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.

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    Thank you Howard, I think this the circuit with the latching relay is something I can handle.

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    Hello Crutschow, Sorry for using the wrong terminology for the switches. Yes, the spider is controlling the motor direction.

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    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...

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    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...

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    To Crutschow, many thanks. I understand the circuit layout and will now start building it.

    Switching direction of a 12V motor with two push-to-make switches

    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...
