Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Apparently, but I'm only seeing heaven.
so i've kept looking into the servo thing and found this link helped me understand what the software is actually sending to the servo... it seems a lot of the microcontrollers can control up to 8 servos which im not sure it means you have 8 inputs and 8 outputs or what

I'll keep trying to get my head around it and let you know... ( i may even buy some to experiment lol)
ok so i didnt have a huge amount to do tonight other than maybe play some coh2 with my brother who i just realised i blew off to do this lol that and no footy was of any interest to me
i got some brackets drawn up for these:
25 lbs. Linear Actuators
I'm hoping it will have the speed to do it and should be enough force im thinking... if not can go to a slightly stronger but slower one or design a linkage to get some extra leverage in there
this is a pretty rough job as dimensions were sorta guessed and i wanted to get something sketched up to work from so excuse rough it looks (the big slab that everything is mounted to is the gearbox casing)
