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 |

ok, just tried a servo, but they need a pulsed supply.
maybe a normal motor would be better? |

A motor is much simpler. You can either use a current sensing circuit to stop the motor or a simpler method of limit switches. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
