Not to hijack or anything, but wouldn't adding those two switchs just give you 'full on' or 'full off' in either direction? I"m not a electronics expert or anything, but i did hack a servo in an attempt to making a reliable elevate system, and when i took out the pot i found as a nice little bonus the 'gear motor' i basically had would go slow in one direction with a little push, and fast in that same direction when pushed all the way. If you can set up a regular gear motor to do that, can you show me how since i'm planning on using a gear motor to run my rotation? I figured i'd need some kind of speed control to get the motor to do that.
