Hey guys! I'm a newbie and need some help with a project i am working on to my car actually. Some lexus headlights move up and down by stepper motors, and i want to incorporate them into my car.
I bought some lexus headlight stepper motors but have no idea how i can get them to work.
Basically, they work by a stepper motor in each headlight. The motor has a small piston that moves up and down. when it moves up, it pushes the headlight pojector in one direction. when it moves down, it pulls the reflector in the opposite direction.
I just need to figure out how to control the motors by using some sort of potentiometer.
I want to have some sort of a potentiometer where...
-rotating to the right would push the motor all the way out
-rotating all the way to the left would pull the motor all the way in
-with the rotation in the middle, the motor pushed half way out
please see this link on a lexus forum where it explains more about what i am trying to accomplish:
