    Motor control circuit

    I tried but I don't think it worked. I'm going to do something but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. It can be very hard to explain things without pictures and you can't include pictures in the posts here. Here is a site where I did post the message with drawings. If this makes it try looking...

    Motor control circuit

    Your sugestions seem to be just what I'm looking for. I want to keep this as simple as possible. I will try 4 and see if I can get you the immages. maybe that will clear things up a bit more.

    Motor control circuit

    Very good! From what I can see right now I think those are exactly what I’m looking for. Just to make sure were talking about the same ones they are Timer Control Board Schematic and Plant Watering Timer - Hours of Delay. Here is one last twist on the circuit if you want to look into it...

    Here is a drawing to give you an idea of what I'm looking for. http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/401d958a_3e8a/bc/Public/Threaded+Motor+Circuit2.jpg?bfNLKeDBdaDcY7xb

    Motor control circuit

    No they don't all 3 need to be the same circuit. Whichever way is simpler.

    Motor control circuit

    No it doesn't need to be exactly 360. Nothing in this curcuit needs to be precise. Mike

    Motor control circuit

    Ok , I’m going to post this question again. The last time I posted this I couldn’t get a schematic of a circuit that I could use that was simple. Maybe by not wanting this thing to do so many things it will help. I am not familiar enough right now to work with PIC’s etc ant this should be a...

    Need a timing circuit for motor contol

    Here is a little more info for you. It doesn’t need to be real accurate. Time or revolutions will work but I think I would rather have revolutions to control it better. Like I say it is a geared motor so let’s say that I want an led sitting next to the micro switch. The led is on right now. I...

    Need a timing circuit for motor contol

    Could someone help me with a circuit I’m trying to make. I have a geared motor that’s 3 volts. I’m not sure of the current right now. If I push a micro switch I want the motor to either make a certain number of revolutions or stay on for a certain amount of seconds. This should only be able to...

    Temperature recording

    Yes I realise I did say Serial port, but It dosnt matter where I hook it up as long as it is fairly easy for now. As I learn more and find oter possabilities I want to do a lot more with it. Right now I want to collect the data say every minute or 5 or 10 and send it to an excel speadsheet or...

    Temperature recording

    Thanks for the info. I have checked that site out before. Right now I am just trying to make somethinig simple and cheap that I can hook up to the serial port. Eventually I would like to make or buy a data logger so it would be more versitle and I could do other things with it. (When possible I...
