Actuator control

I am looking to interface my linear actuator control boxes with arduino for versatility and adaptability. I have control for up, down, and to set 3 positions of actuators (button 1, button 2, button 3) by pressing "S" button when in desired position. To stop the movement pressing the opposite direction button up/down will stop movement.

I would like to use Arduino to control this unit and want to eventually add ethernet, bluetooth, and what ever options may be avail. with Arduino.

Can anyone help me get started with this project? I have a Duemelinov and am about to order some shields to use from Amazon.com.

So, I want to operate a control box to actuators using arduino.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

We would need to know what control box you have. Type of actuators.. etc..
