Clay pigeon thrower

Projects General Guidance
1

I am trying to make an automated clay pigeon thrower from a manual one and I am having trouble wiring the project together. I am currently using :

  1. Door lock actuator
  2. 433MHz DC12V 10A 1CH Single Channel Wireless Relay (SRD-12VDC-SL-C) RF Remote Control Switch Receiver Board With Case
  3. Arduino Uno
  4. 12V battery source

I am trying to use the actuator to pull the release bar back on the currently manual pigeon thrower. The wireless receiver should also have a delay once the operator presses the button on the wireless remote to give the operator enough time to get into position to fire.

I desolder the wireless reciever from the relay to allow the Arduino to control the delay in the switch. I am having trouble with wiring and programming the wireless receiver. Any thoughts?

You sure are! I see only one wire from the "UNO" to the relay module.

An electrical circuit requires two.

Additionally

  1. those breadboard jumpers have small wires. That door lock motor will draw 2 amps, 4 when stalled. :o Think toaster elements.

b. if the motor is not returned to 'home' position by a spring, or something, you'll need *three * wires to drive it, one common and one each for directional information and some sort of 'H' bridge circuit to change voltage polarity.
