I am working on a piece of animations for Halloween. I am using a 12 volt linear actuator and controller to make a huge pumpkins mouth open and close. Everything is working fine and dandy but I need to feed a 2 Hz on/off signal into one of the control circuits to make the controller cycle from one position to the other. (2 Hz is the fastest I would need to change direction, direction does not change until position one or two is reached so this will work for all position settings)
Sounds complicated but I do know this will work with this controller, I tested it with a simple push button circuit.
I am using a 12volt 10 amp source. The output needs to be 12 volt but the amperage can be low. I remember from way back in physics class that a simple light flashing circuit can be made using a resistor and a capacitor and I thought something similar might work although I have no idea how to do it any more.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm great with out of the box controllers but I'm a complete electronics amateur.
