Abstract: A control (200) for an infant and child swing (40) driven by a direct current motor (160) includes a user interface (312) for selecting from a plurality of swing heights (or amplitudes), a microcontroller (400) having a processor (401), a swing angle indicator (118) having a light interrupter detector (210), and a music system (410). Processor (401) receives an output signal from light interrupter detector (210) for monitoring the current swing amplitude. At the end of each swing cycle processor (401) compares the current swing amplitude with the user selected maximum swing amplitude, and, if not substantially equal, generates a control signal to adjust the power output from motor (160) so that the current swing amplitude substantially equals the user selected maximum swing amplitude. This cycle-by-cycle adjustment produces a swing arc having improved accuracy and consistency.
