This may sound like a crazy idea. But it is something I'd like to try. It falls in the area of brainstorming.
I have a joystick. It has four poles of contacts. I can provide more specifics if needed. But this will tell you the general basics of the unit.
I want to use it to control a boat motor. I want to put the boat motor at the rear of a canoe. I'm thinking some sort of actuator with a 6-8 inch lateral movement . This would control the left and right direction of the motor. Then I'd need some sort of control for the speed. Some sort of actuator would be needed with a relatively short lateral movement. Forward would increase the motor speed., Backwards would decrease the motor speed. This motor doesn't have a reverse.
I'm wondering what kinds of electronics would be required to pull this off? I'm thinking of a 12 volt system with marine batteries.
