How do you want to stop after button 2 is pressed? Is there a limit switch at the other end too?
We are using a speed controller to power a Denso window motor BUT we could use a Spike if it would be easier.

Just to clarify-
We want a ramp to move UP when button 1 is pressed AND only when button 1is pressed. We want the ramp to go DOWN when button 2 is pressed AND only when button two is pressed.

Our issue is we need the ramp to stop when the ramp is all the way down, hence the need for a switch. We don't want to rely on the driver seeing that the ramp is down and letting go of the button in time. The plastic hex output shaft on the Denso window motor is awfully susceptible to shear.

Thanks for the help.
