I'll look into those...LOL I'm more than happy to use code already written...I'm not big into coding....
Frizzen
The actuator works way better than I hoped... with the masonry bit moving the actuator 1 inch per revolution you can use gear motor in the 20-30 RPM range and they have a lot of torque....and I have to give credit to RVJIMD it's the same basic set up he posted a year or so ago I just kind of went the next step...not sure exactly but I think I have less the $20 in it....
I tried the WPL steering up grad but the tie rod isn't adjustable and the angle of the steering rod makes it unusable...I'd like to use thread all and turnbuckles but I'm not sure what size to get....
I cut some helper springs from some lawnmower recoil springs and they helped a lot I'd like to do the shackle thing and I know you can use chain but again being new I don't know what size to get.
