What kind of controls are you using, thatis do you flip a switch for each position, or a timer, or rotary switch, etc. What you making if you can say, it look like a tumble or mixer of some sort
i have used a 4 channel receiver and a remote control to power the solenoid and motor in my old box,.....i am building a new one,.... i am talking to actuator people from china along with other companies for stepper motor or servo,.....no solution found yet but i have to test some the items that i might be getting from China then i will know more [ for example the actuator has a 2 second delay in sending shaft out for 10mm to push against lever and 1 second delay for 5mm extension....2 seconds to retract 10mm back in
