[cctalk] Re: reset "pulse" stretcher need

This might be a bit off topic, so forgive me if so. The issue is a 24VAC motor with one connection to 24VAC and the other gated via two switches. The first switch is a momentary one and the second is in parallel and connected to the motor. A long enough momentary depression on the first switch actuates the electric motor enough to close the second switch, which then stays closed for 1 revolution. The problem is that a quick enough press and release of the first switch does not allow the motor to move far enough to close the second switch. Given the configuration, my general plan was a small one shot timer circuit that energized when the switch was initially depressed and then closed a relay in parallel with the first 2 switches, with a time period that was 1/10 to 1/2 the time of the motor revolution. a quick close and release of the first switch would start the timer, which would then close the parallel switch and then open it a short time later, and then the motor switch, which would still be closed, could signal the end of the cycle. But, I thought I'd ask around and see if a simpler option was available. Jim -- Jim Brain brain(a)jbrain.com www.jbrain.com
