I have a 3v dc motor that turns at a slow rpm. It has a rubber wheel that comes in contact with a baseball. This allows the baseball to be pushed in to a pitching machine. The ball waits in line to be driven by the motor. I would like to be able to turn the motor on but have a time delay of approximately 15 sec before it runs continuously. I will have a limit switch to turn off the motor after the last ball has been pitched. What type of circuit would be needed to produce this? I know this is pretty basic but I=92m very new to this.
If I were to increase the voltage so the motor would turn at a higher RPM, say 6v dc whould it hurt the motor?
I can read schematics, build circuits and have experience with electronic components but having the proper circuit would make things very easy for me. Can some one make a schematic that I can use to accomplish this? Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
