Pulling Pickup Winder together

[chrismudd]

Hello,
I have been lurking for a while and thought I would take a stab at a couple of questions:

1. I am building a winder and had planned on using an old Bandsaw motor (110AC) because it had a speed control already built in....

2. I would like to add an up/down counter to this set-up so that I can program in the number of winds and it will stop.

3. I would like to use a magnetic switch like this one: 2 x Cylindrical Plastic Mounted Reed Proximity Switch Magnetic Sensor | eBay.

Here are my concerns:

How do I pull all of these together?
I know enough to wire a guitar easily, but am not "schematic" literate.

I assume I need for my counter to "communicate " with the proximity switch... How do I match this up??

How does the counter connect to the motor to turn it off when it reaches "0"?????


Am I completely lost or making it more complicated than I need?????

Well my friend, not to sound harsh, but this is where you got to put on your thinkin-cap and get after it.

Get the data sheets for the parts, get them on your bench, get them hooked up, get them de-bugged, then you'll get it all "pulled together", no one can really do it for you. Get on it, then ask for help when you run into a problem.

You'll have to find a counter that lets you program in a limit value and gives an output when that value is reached. I know they exist, but I'm not sure what they are called. Preset counter, assignment counter, preselection counter or something. Here is a somewhat expensive example, you can probably find a cheaper Chinese-made device.

These devices come with manuals that explain how to hook them up. I would use another external relay to avoid the risk of the motor current burning out the internal relay contacts.
