    Electronics - Motor Control?

    Are there any electronic circuit gurus here that would know how to control a motors position via a 12way rotary switch?

    I originally thought of using a servo and servo controller, However most servos I know of only have a 180* range of motion.
    The other option was using a stepper motor, however I can't figure out how to control it using a rotary switch.

    Basically I need the motor/servo to have 12x 90degree steps or 24x 45degree steps (3 full rotations)

    Anyone know how to do this, or know or a link that might help?

    not going to happen without a stepping motor and circuit, sorry.

      If you use a stepper motor and circuit, how do you actually control how many steps it take to reach the desired position?

      Ie a typical stepper motor has 48steps @ 7.5degrees per step.
      To obtain 45degrees I would need 6 steps to take place.
      Can that be programmed into the circuit?
