Self adjusting motor positioning system and method

A self-adjusting motor positioning system, comprising:

• a motor including a shaft extending therefrom;
• a disc coupled to said motor shaft and having at least first and second notches;
• rotating apparatus coupled to said motor shaft whereby said rotating apparatus is intermittently driven by said motor, said rotating apparatus having a desired starting position from which the rotating apparatus is desired to begin turning, said first notch in said disc corresponding to said starting position of said rotating apparatus;
• sensor means adjacent said disc for detecting said first and second notches;
• control processing means coupled to said sensor means and said motor for receiving detection signals from said sensor means and for turning said motor on and off, said control processing means including memory means for storing a time delay count representing a time delay for said control processing means to turn off said motor after said second notch is detected by said sensor means;
• wherein said control processing means turns said motor off when the time delay expires after said sensor means detects said second notch, said control processing means determining whether said sensor means has detected said first notch as said motor coasts to a stop, and said control processing means decrements said time delay count if said sensing means detected said first notch while said motor coasts to a stop.
