#101245 - Please Say Sensing stop ....Please

You could use a time duration with a little experementing but this will need a really tolerant motor else you may burn the winding if you continue driving it beyond end position of the valve.

According to the data in 'More!' post i think danger of this method and using Microswitch is the same.

A better option is to insert a shunt in the motor path and sense the current which dramatically increases when the motor stalls.
Use the voltage drop across the shunt as a stop signal for the processor.
You might need to do a little calculation based on the hardware, the motor, you plan to use.

I agree totally with you,And for this reason i wanted to use 89c2051, but how?The motor winding resistor is small so for using a shunt resistor it must be small too that is meaning increase of power dissipation

The easier way out is to use a motor with friction clutch more popularly called slip mechanism. You can get hold of a "Window winder motor" from one of the car accessories dealers and the 'on-time' shall do the rest for you.

Unfortunately the motor and valve is in one package and i only have 2 wires for controlling this pack!

Hope this helps

Indeed I must say Thanks Dear Pratik
