Hi I have a motor as detailed below. I require a controller that will be able to change the direction of the motor and have a adjustable time period of approx 15-40 Seconds.
Example power applied to motor for 15 Seconds, the next time power is applied the mitor will go in a different direction for 15s

How do you want to send commands to the controller?
You need to know the maximum continuous current (or power). Physical dimensions / gearing don’t affect the choice of controller.
