Hello, I am working on a project where I will have roof-mounted, covered lighting on my vehicle and then at the push of a button (or two), the cover will slide back and four lights will rotate up and turn on.
I have a video of what I'm trying to do below - this is just a concept, considering it does not include any components that will actually move the set up.
**broken link removed**
I don't know a lot about circuitry, other than an electronics class I took in high school. My main question is if you know of a good motor choice to make this stuff happen? I understand I may need multiple motors / actuators to achieve my goal. Eventually I would like to make the whole process happen at once, but if I need to do each action manually by the touch of several different buttons, that's fine for now.
I don't wish to spend a fortune, so cheaper is better, but any ideas will be appreciated.
What I can tell you is the cover will be somewhere around 40x10x4 inches in 1/8th steel and the lights will together weigh approximately 5.5 lbs, not including the rotating bar they will be attached to.
