I'm looking to squeeze the handle of a hose nozzle, so that's about the force and throw I require.
I don't think it should be too expensive, so I was looking at this one $25 robotdigg.
I have a seperate 12v power supply that is rated at 30 watts, 2.5 amps.
There don't seem to be any manuals with that RobotDigg actuator, so I was hoping someone might already know the additional hardware I'll need to control this thing. A 12v relay? Which one and from where would be smart?
This looks like a great bet for the relay Featherwing from Adafruit same from mouser
Going to be making a chicken coop motion sensing water hose perimeter defense system with my 5 year old daughter. Will be hooking up some cameras to catch the action, and a timer or light sensor for on/off state.
