Need some help from the auto-rotating monitor experts...

Thanks, this thread has gotten so long I guess I forgot about that post.

I actually did find a couple of the tiny molex connections on an old power supply and tried them out with some cherry switches. Worked great! :applaud: It's not the prettiest or tidiest solution, but meh, when everything's inside the cab no one will see it anyway so I'm just gonna go with it.

Now to slap together some wood, lazy susan bearing, and my monitor...

The cherry switches are an ingenious way to incorporate limit switches.  Very cool.

Just another option from DaOld Man

That arm assembly looks super elaborate.  Is that cheaper than a Rod/Bearings/Stepper motor process?

DNA Dan:
Well since the linear actuator has already been done, I guess I won't be going that route. It does look complex.
