Hello all, new to the site, Great site so far!

I wanted to see of there was anyone that could help with a project I’m working on. Its a Planetary Orrery that has a central lamp (sun) and 8 planets. (8 DC motors) ea. controlled ea. by adjustable timers say 1-5 mins ea. the overview of what I would like to happen is to press a start button and the lamp comes on and stays on thru the duration of the demindstation, and motor 1 starts at a consant speed that can be adjusted and run for a a period say 3 min. and stops. then motor 2  starts and does the same, and so on each of the remaining motors has finished its 3 min. Its would be nice that when motor 8 ends all eight 8 motors start and run untill a stop/reset button is pressed.

I also was planning to execute some type of audio file(s) off each motors voltage to expalin that perticular planet possibe. the motor can be low torque 6-12v or what ever would work.

If anyone has any good ideas, I hope this isnt too far fetched, just trying to start somewhere with this.

Many many years ago my gradfather and I built one and it just had one motor to drive all (9) planet when Pluto had a life!! and a swicth for the lamp and the motor, pretty simple!

Thanks
