OK, I have plans for a piece of plastic (6"x6") thats either hinged at the top or the bottom, and I want to be able to raise or lower it at the flick of a switch.
I'm not an RC'er but I was wondering if something as simple as a servo would do the job, or maybe just a motor and a chain and sprocket? If I use the servo, what else would I need? (i.e. some sort of controller?) Any help would be appreciated. Dan This post has been edited by vsideboy: May 23, 2006 - 1:45 AM |

It all depends on what you want to do. Servos are a good idea if you need to have it at different levels, or a motor and limit switches will work if you need it in just an up or down state. You may want to look into linear actuators as well.
Without knowing exactly what you're trying to accomplish I can't really suggest one thing or another. This post has been edited by WannabeGT4: May 23, 2006 - 10:06 AM --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
