Hi guys,
Does anyone have an idea ( or even picture or maybe a link) which shows how to create a mechanism to steer the front two wheels of a car.
To be more precise: I want to give out "logic 1" (voltage/current not much of an issue as that can be worked around) to activate some sort of motor (possibly a solenoid???) to push the front axle left or right, without actually causing the motor to turn around with the axle. Do I have to connect the wheels to pivots or something? I have tried to open up a couple of RC cars to no avail.
I am not looking for much of a electronics explanation, but a engineering one. However electronics and engineering are very closely related, so I am just wondering if someone has an answer.
Thanks for your time
