Hi there!
I need a system to control linear actuators (there are 2, total 10A), consisting of potentiometers for feedback. Its operation should be based on two sensors (speed and acceleration), where the speed will act only as a safety switch (the system must be above 140km/h). I have seen some systems from Pololu, but I don’t know which would suit me most.
Thanks!

Hi @racingaerosystems and welcome to the forum.
I guess this control is meant for the spoiler on a car?
First thing that comes to my mind is that you will need to program a microcontroller for this operation (for example, Arduino).
Meaning, your speed and acceleration sensor will be connected to this microcontroller, and based on the values from these sensor, microcontroller will operate these actuators via drivers.
For drivers, you can maybe use LAC board: https://www.robotshop.com/products/actuonix-linear-actuator-control-board

I hope this helps a little bit. Feel free to ask anything else.
