Re: How to Code Linear Actuators

I'm not a programmer.

The actuator itself is a motor (a legal one I hope!). So control it like a motor.

IF you decide to use limit switches or some other means of detecting its position, then when the 'switch closes' (or the 'Thingus Thinguses'), a digital input is used to detect that and possibly is used in the programming to do something (like shut the motor off).
