I'm curently having some problems with the motor application.
First of all, the motor i'm currently using is a DC motor.
Most probably a 12-24V DC-Motor.
The DC Motor should rotate in both back and forward directionn automatically..
Is there any other method to control the change of direction of the motor without involving a microcontroller..?
Can any mechanical method involve..?
Yes you can control the motor without microcontroller by employing H-bridge circuit. This circuit will allow you to switch the motor in forward or backward direction.

If the motor current rating is not too high (less than 1A), you may consider using L293 IC from Texas Instruments as shown in the attached figure.

Yes, it's possible to change the rotational direction of the motor without involving microcontroller. You can use a single-pole double-throw mechanical switch to change the direction of motor rotation.
No. You do not need any microcontroller if you do not require (automatic) speed control. You can use mechanical switch to simulate the 'high' or 'low' signal as shown in my first post.
a H-Bridge..
well....i'm applying it in my project..which is the "Automatic Swing System"
Have u seen those playground swings....?
my project is based on that concept....the only thing is that it swings back forward automatically....
I'm attatching a circuit which i tot could help me solve my problem..
Can you give me any comment regarding this circuit....
But i was confuse about the operation.
For example, if the motor is rotating in clockwise direction, can i immediately change the polarity to rotate it in the opposite direction?
By doing so, can the motor be damage due to the immediate change of current?
well , to control the direction of the motor h bridge(l293d from ti) is the best choice.
for controlling the speed u've to use PWM wave.

hi
i saw ur ckt. i dont think problem will arise due to immediate change in polarity. i never had such problems in such ckts. i would suggest the use of L293D (h bridge driver from texas instruments) which needs feed of 10,01 pattern. the ckt will become simpler and it can drive up to 1.2 amps.
In the circuit, the following devices were used:
1) IRF511 - N-Channel Power Mosfet
2) 4011 - 2-Input NAND Gate
I think you might have problem to drive the High-Side mosfets using 4011.
Instead of using power mosfets, you may consider power transistor as given in the following website: **broken link removed**
By the way, do you know the current rating of the motor?
Motor is a quite tough device. Immediate change of Forward/Reverse control signal will not damage the motor. Pls see the attachment for simulation of such scenario.
