I would like to use an L12 actuator controlled by an (ON)-OFF-(ON) switch (vs. a potentiometer) so that when the switch returns to the center OFF position the actuator stops at that position. Of course each of the respective (ON) positions of the switch would control the direction of the actuator. I’m not concerned about selectable speed since one of the preset speeds on the L12 will work fine.
I’d prefer not to have to go Arduino and would like to go something simple with two relays if possible (vs. LAC).
I’m sure this can be done, but being a newb at all this I’m not sure how. Thanks!
I saw that, but it doesn’t specifically say that it will stop the actuator say, half-way extended, once the switch is returned to the center position. Is that the case? Or will it just latch so that then the actuator extends out to its full length? And vice versa on the retraction?
You can see how the switch works in this video. When the switch is released, it will return to center (OFF) position and the actuator stops. While you press on any ON position, the actuator will move in the according direction.
