Hello all. I'll start by telling what I want to do. I want to have a 10" monitor slide out of the dash then flip up. I have searched for several different methods for motion and I think that a gear and rack setup will be the best route for me to go. I'm not sure from this point on...lol.
I assume that I will need at least two motors depending on torque and things of that nature. I have found a "stamp" that will control two motors but, I have no clue what a stamp is, how it works, and how to make it do what I want it to do. As far as activating this setup, the possabilities are endless. I'm pretty sure that once I have a good understanding of how to control the motors I will be able to figure out how to activate it, switch wize.
If it helps i have a general knowleadge of relays.
The screen will have to travel between 6-8 inches out then, at the very least, rotate 90 degrees up. It would be really nice for the screen open to 90 then have adjustable angles up and down from there. That should help with veiwing and glare. (I think stepper motor for this but once again unsure)
PS. Sorry for the misspelled words :roll: and don't worry, I will not be watching the screen while driving. The screen is strickly for shows and for entertainment while waiting for the judges to come around.
Thank you in advance for all help!!
