Hi all,
I'm working on a project that requires a reversal of polarity from my power supply (to activate a linear actuator) and it must be automated. For this reason I cannot use a regular switch. I already have a circuit to do this using a relay, but I need to send current through the coil to reverse the current of the second circuit.
What I am looking for is a way to toggle a circuit ON/OFF indefinitiely with 12VDC, using a 10 second pulse of 12VDC to switch between the ON and OFF positions. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to build this circuit using 2 12VDC relays, but I'm afraid I'm not very proficient with electronics and I'm getting quite frustrated and dazed.
Can someone lend me a hand with this?
Thanks!
