P16-50-256-12-R Question

I want to build a device for my tow behind spreader to open and close the chute and set it at various positions.

I ordered a 16-R Linear Actuator with Servo Control 50mm 256:1 12 volts P16-50-256-12-R.

Never built anything with Arduino. Think i have an L298. And momentary contact switches. I want the linear actuator to fully open and close and have 3 or 4 buttons to program stop points.

Also want to control using rc…

Can you help me with a parts list and how to program an Arduino or whatever devise you recommend?

Can you help me/list the parts to buy.

Thanks,

John

Hi @jmuirman1 and welcome to our forum.

Since you bought L16-R linear actuator, I would suggest that you use Actuonix External RC Control Board Ext-R for L16 Actuators:

For Arduino code, I think it is not much complicated so you could ask ChatGPT to write it for you.

Thanks for your help. Just received the actuator and will start building soon.

Perfect. Let us know about your progress :slight_smile:
