Hi! Really interesting project! I have a question though, why didn’t you use cheap linear actuators that can extend the same amount and have limit switches build in to them?
@@buildforthebuild Timotion has the TA19 series that is telescopic and has hall encoder/sensor build in but dont know about the price, if you want to go the cheaper route I would use aliexpress actuators they are very cheap and are very easy to drive but the negative is that you have to work out position feedback yourself.
@@tedguijt Thank you for the hints I'll look into it. I have some ali actuators somewhere.. Again I have the length issue so I have to find a way to move 150% Input for a discovered video 😉
Nice video
Thank you!

Didn't know you could get those, thanks for the hint.
And do you know of any that can extend 150%?
