Hi all,
FINALLY!!! decided on a new project, taken long enough.
I'm deep in the stages of planning, selecting components and designing layouts. But I have come to a stop on one part and would like to ask your help.
For one part of it I need a linear upwards motion of about 10 cm, like an electric car aerial would be amazing.
Have looked into using linear servos but they are really expensive or do not move far enough at the cheaper end of the scale; also looked at lead screws connected to a stopped motor which would work brilliantly but take a large amount of space.
Telescopic would be an amazing way, but apart from a massive car aerial components, difficult to find a solution
anyone had this problem to over come before, or have ideas would be a massive help
