Title: motor timer
Post by: zdoll11 on October 18, 2010, 10:31:17 PM

does anyone have a schematic for a circuit that will run a motor for a set time and then reverse and run backward for the same amount of time?

Try taking a look at 555 timer circuits (http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/555timer.htm).  A monostable timing circuit and a flip-flop could be used.  An alternative, if you have a microcontroller you can just program it.
