Hello all,
For my project, I want to activate the first linear actuator and then have the next actuator turn on a specific amount of time later (preferably down to the seconds or tenth of seconds).
Any ideas on how to hook up a system like this and what parts would be needed?
My background is civil engineering, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi @courtney12395 and welcome to our forum!
You would need a microcontroller for this task (like Arduino).
Have you chose actuators already?
I think the “Actuonix L16 Actuator 100mm 35:1 6V RC Control” (https://www.robotshop.com/en/actuonix-l16-actuator-100mm-351-6v-rc-control.html) would work for my job.
I am not sure what microcontroller to use though.
You can see which microcontrollers we offer: https://www.robotshop.com/en/microcontrollers.html
We have a lot of them 
Usually, people with no programming or electronics experience, start with Arduino Uno.
