Hi Guys, i wonder if anyone can help?
I am working on a project, and part of it is essentially a rod moving up and down.
I have tried my best to explain below.
When the bottom of the rod reaches 15cm above the ground on its downward vertical travel, it passes a [ magnetic reed switch 1 ], which activates [relay 1].
When the bottom of the rod reaches 5cm above the ground on its downward vertical travel, it passes [magnetic reed switch2], which activates [relay 2].
When the rod reaches the ground, i then starts to move back up again.
It first passes [magnetic reed switch2] , and it doesnt matter if it activated or not - so no problem here.
However! when it passes [magnetic reed switch1] on its upward travel - i dont want the relay to activate.
relay 1 shold only activate on the DOWNWARD travel.
Has anyone got any ideas?
CHeers,
