Look at my motor and you will see it is a gear motor. In the center is a square hole where the drive axle passes through. The motor has a set of internal switches and cams that allow the motor to rotate clockwise for a defined arc, and stop. This happens by providing positive power to ONE WIRE...

Those who have managed to study the Headlamps with Relays circuit may have noticed I have slipped something into my headlamp circuit. My Chrysler 300 has HIDDEN HEADLIGHTS. There are metal covers that rotate open when you turn on the headlights, then rotate closed when the lights are off.

I then add the “Relay” Electrical Circuit Symbols. I didn’t invent these myself, they are printed on the device, show up in the installation manuals, and can be had on the interwebs as “standards” IEC, JIC, ANSI, IEEE etc. Pick one that makes sense to you, or print out this sheet when starting...

Looking forward to your contributions to the board.

I have been enjoying my Ring video motion sensor lights. I now have 24 hr. monitoring for when we are away overnight, but I am surprised how much I like knowing a package has been delivered. The Ring app on my phone gives a chime or buzz then starts recording when anyone (me included) is in the...
