Need winch ideas for my handicapped accessible cab
KonkeyKong:
oooo...that might be a problem alright.
Ultramagnus--Could you explain the servo modified for continual rotation?

I've got an old Snap-On that locks in position hard enough to drive 3" screws the last little bit into a door jamb.
A single speed drill motor, with a Triac circuit on it to limit the speed, would probably be more durable anyway--unless you plan to counter-weight the door, or use gears.

Since you must design the cab to support the weight with the front
lifted up and out of the way. Don't include it. If someone is
handicapped "don't remind them" make your game like they are like
anyone else coming along to play.
The ADA has specs for payphone placement including directory shelves
those guildlines might help in height calculations.
The monitor angle might also be a problem to deal with.
Just my 25 cents worth, good luck.
PedroSilva:
Hi,
Instead of moving the front, why don't you use some sort of drawer to extend the CP for playing ?
AlanS17:
I second the drawer idea. The CP is going to have considerable height by itself. you'll need a few extra inches below that to attach a hinge of some sort all of a sudden your hands are way high in the air just so you can get leg clearance.
Do the wheelchair legs fold in or are you forced to have your legs out in front? I built my first machine with a control panel that extended about a foot from the edge of the machine. It was stationary in this position and people could sit at it.
