I want to make my Lehman self leveling as it is in the crawl space and =
I'm getting to the age I hate

crawling on my hands and knees as I did when I was 3.

What I have in mind, but need help with is to connect a common wire to =
the base plate which in turn

will also put the same electrical potential on the boom as my Lehman is =
all metal. I want to insulate

my boom stops from the base plate and connect a plus voltage to it and a =
minus voltage to the other

stop. When the boom touches one of the stops it will complete a circuit =
that will activate a DC motor that

in turn will driver one of my leveling screws a preset amount of =
rotations or for X amount of time.

What I need help with is a circuit to control the motor. I have read =
that a step motor can have a controller

that will control the number of rotations or steps and then stop.

Can anyone Help?
