[QUOTE="Petran, post: 740015"] Hello all and thanks in advance for your time. I'm a total newbie. I want to build an automated procedure without doing complex programming. Ideally I would like to have: 1 linear actuator (LA1), a rotating motor (RM1) and 3 limit switches (SW1, SW2 and SW3) -> SW2 & SW3 should have a double role. Actuator and motor should have a manual controller. [LIST] [*]Start button is pressed. [*]LA1 starts the travel from the position of SW1 and travels till it reaches SW2. [*]SW2 triggers LA1 to start to travel back and at the same time triggers RM1 spins at the specified travel setting [*]LA1 reaches SW1 position [/LIST] and that's one cycle when x cycles are completed the mechanism will reach SW3 position -that triggers both LA1 and RM1 to stop Am I dreaming or is the double role possible without special programming? Special hardware required? I would value greatly a link to buy from aliexpress or similar in europe [/QUOTE]
