Reply to "Alternate Headlight Mechanism"

Thanks, I am going to tackle the circuitry on my own; that's where the fun is. I am going to use limit switches on one side just to see how well it works but on the other side I am using a servo circuit witch will maintain position with pulse width. We'll see how well that works.

I wrote an article for PI about a year ago about a modification for the original motor lift. I fabricated aluminum stops for the buckets designed to stop against the rubber bubbers in the fender in the up position. This was to stop the bouncing bucket problem because of the rod arrangement. This also gave me repeatable up position as well.
I am curiuos about your arrangment the up position without stops. Remember the up position is critcal because the angle is greater at a distance where the light hits the road than at the pivot point in the fender.
I designed a motor control for the Pantera headlight system to complment the mechicanical changes, so if you need motor controls for your motors let me know I would glad to help. Nice job in fabrication and design!
