Hi guys, I'm going to attempt to make my own watch winder. the basic engineering of it is very simple, but I don't know where to start when it comes to the programming of it.
I already have an electric motor that can run in both directions (will run it about 1-3 rpm). I want to do this:
1) spin counter clock wise for 5 minute
2) turn off for 20 minutes
3) spin clockwise for 5 minute
..repeat forever
(the actual numbers don't matter I still need to figure those out exactly)
the commercial ones do exactly this, the DIY home built ones they just turn on them off and on manually which is not what I want. What component should I use to control these type of function?
TIA
