Has anyone been able to drive two seperate outputs with a single motor? Here's
what I'm looking for advice on:
Step One:
Motor and Outputs A and B are all in their Home position.
Step Two:
Motor is manually turned on and Output A is driven to it's limit.
Step Three:
Motor continues to run, driving Output B to it's limit. Both Outputs are now at
the limit of their travel and the motor is manually switched off.
Step Four:
Motor is manually turned on and Output B is driven back to it's home position
Step Five:
Motor continues to run, driving Output A to it's home position. Both Outputs are
now at their Home position and the motor is manually switched off.
I'm looking for a purely mechanical solution where all I have to do is apply
current to the motor and I can power both outputs consecutively without manually
switching gears. I have some ideas, but they are both archaic and unwieldy. Any
ideas? Questions? Comments?

| (...) One way to do that is to have a rubber-band/spring/shock holding "Output B" in it's starting position. Then, you can use a differential to move both A and B. Going forward, A will be easier to drive, so it will push A to it's limit, then B (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
