Here is what I want to do. I am making a ventilation system: controlled by temperature a window will open and close. I will use a linear actuator to open it. Sounds simple?...OK here is catch 22:
I want 4 different stages (closed, 1/3 open, 2/3 open, and full-it would open further as the heat increases) I have thought of using 6- 4PDT relays...but it seems there should be a better way.
I know very little about micro controllers, however I was wondering if this would be the way to go.
Also does anyone know where I can get a 4 stage thermostat? Or should I make one?
I’d appreciate any help that you can give me.
