Ive been thinking limit switches for our earlier design, which seems to be scrapped now. Second idea, you said you have a cable, I assume a motor? Ive been toying with the idea of putting something on the shaft that would trigger the gear tooth sensor, extra gear, custom thing, etc. and using that to be able to set position, since you know the starting height, and then its just a matter of measuring how high its lifted for a certain period of use. Timers, maybe? so that it always runs the same amount of time?
