Hi guys.
I'm a complete noob at electronics, and I've been searching far and wide to find a sollution to my problem.
But I might be searching for the wrong things as I'm not into the whole electronics part of stuff.
I make custom watercooling and mod pc's in my spare time, and as a machinist I have that side of this
project covered.
I'm starting a new build and this is for my girlfriend. So I wan't it to be a bit different than what I normally do.
I made a quick sketch to give an idea of what I want to acomplish.
The idea is as follows:
I want to have a motion sensor that detects when I swipe my hand over it in a distance of 2-20cm, or something like that.
This will trigger the dc motor to make the slider go up.
When the slider hits Limit Switch A - It stops.
When I swipe my hand over the sensor again, I want the motor to run the other way and move the slider down until it
hits Limit Switch B.
The 5v that is supplied by a PC Power supply fits perfectly with the motor and should supply ample torque.
I have no idea if anyone knows how to do this, and would like to help me out.
I probably forgot something, so if you need any extra info, just let me know!
