I am working on building an automatic cat food feeder out of an alarm clock. When the alarm goes off it triggers a geared motor with a pulley system to pull the lid off a container until a kill switch is struck. I would like to know how to wire the motor to go in the reverse direction after the power is cut, any ideas?Thanks in Advance!
I believe it is an AC motor not DC. You have both a running winding and a starting winding. If you remove the capacitor from the start winding and put it on the running winding the motor might be able to run backwards.
