Thanks for the help guys, especially you felix, im actually using wiper motors because i needed more current for my applications so the automotive option is a very useful one. Thanks again to everyone who replied.

3-4 Amps

The motors will be drawing approximately 4amps

Hi, I need to operate a 12VDC 2-wire PM motor in both directions. I will be interfacing it through a microcontroller. What i am asking is if there is an IC that operates on 5V and can control the 12V (and polarity) that will control the motor. Or is there a method anyone can suggest with maybe...

Im looking for an IC that i can run off of 5V DC from a microcontroller to control the on/off of components that will be using 12-24V DC to operate. I was just going to use one transistor to control another transistor/scr but i know there are more "up-to-date" methods by using IC's. Can anyone...

Thanks Operahouse, What size cap do you suggest i use?

Hi, A friend of mine has been recently given an old non-operating payphone(i think its a bell one from the late 80's, havent seen it yet.). He want's to restore it and hang in in his home as a fully functional phone. I'l be helping him restore it. The circuit board for it has been snapped so...

Im looking for some insight on controlling a dc motor and also a couple of 12V actuators with a microcontroller. I need some help with how exactly i can reverse the polarities automatically to reverse the direction of the motors. Is there and circuitry that can switch the directions of motors...

Hi, Im looking for parts such as servo-motors, actuators, small conveyer components, etc. Anyone know i good site for these type of components?

If they are all polylines why not just select them all and then explode them, then you can modify them to whatever style you want. As for retaining the line types you had from Solidworks, i dont know if its possible, it may be because autocad doesnt have the same linetypes as Solidworks so it...

I would use paper space for sure, It is just easier to modify your drawings that way. IT may take a little bit of time to grasp all the concepts of it but once you understand it, it's pretty beneficial. It's alot easier just to create viewports to display your objects in model space instead of...

Some command is being preformed by autocad whether you are actually doing something or not. It may be as hawkeye2 said about an .lsp file oor simply if you click a toolbar button and not actually draw something autocad will register that as a change to the drawing and prompt you to save

I wouldnt really worry about recurving the arcs, Regen should have done it, The arcs are still there the way you originally drew them and will plot off properly but just change the res if it really bothers you

Thanks nornrich, I didnt want to get into the nitty gritties but the application i want to do requires an arm to move an object from one location to another. I want it to be able to rotate at the base, i want the arm to raise and lower, and i want the claw to open and retract. It will be...

Hi, Im looking for information involving a robotic arm. I want to build a robotic arm that can rotate, raise&lower, and clamp and retract a claw. I want to use a microcontroller to control it but i would appreciate any help on where to find information on building an arm, what parts i need...
