Yhea I don’t know if it’s even possible


Any info would be greatly appreciated
I assume you are looking for true analog control. This can be done with an I/P transducer. Unfortunately, these devices are not legal competition parts. You should do some research on these control devices (in the off season) as an opportunity to learn about other control devices. All control system programmers need to be familiar with the control system components and machinery they control to be effective.
