Hello guys,
First of all I would just like to say: I'm only 15 but I am quite advanced in my knowledge of programming and wiring for my age. I appreciate any responses and help people will give me.
So... I have decided to make a projector lift which comes out of the ceiling using a linear actuator which pushes and pulls on a chain which moves the "cradle" up and down; This was inspired by A-F's project: (DIYish Projector Lift). Also the 120" screen will be placed above ceiling level so it descends through a gap in the plasterboard.
I know how to build all these things as I have been brought up around tools and in a work environment, I had my first cordless drill when I was 7.
I plan to wire the projector lift into a rocker switch which reverses the polarity therefore making the cradle ascend or descend depending on which side of the rocker switch is pressed.
I intend on making these next week as it's the beginning of the summer holidays and the roof is being built on the games room as I speak so I can incorporate it into the building while the ceiling is being erected making it easier.
When I have finished I will comment some pictures and add a video.
