Greetings, New kid on the block here.

I am working on a small project and looking for some help in wiring up a 1 amp reversible DC motor. I need to rotate a bracket about 180 degrees in one direction and stop, then 180 degrees back and stop utilizing a switch mounted in the dash.

Any help on the materials and wiring diagrams that would be needed would be much appreciated.
Ray

I like to use these. No idea how fast your apparatus will be moving, but the length of the actuator of this switch will be very forgiving.

Thanks for the reply, I already had some pin/button style limit switches and was having trouble with the wiring but we cleared our heads and went back at it step by step and got it working. Thanks again!
