Motorized TV Lift

Projects General Guidance

I am toying with trying to build something like this:

System would need to:
Work with IR remote (I have not done this, but have seen the code, and I am confident I can make it work)
Run AC motor with relay both up and down (I have worked with low voltage realys for sound, but not AC 120v)

Any ideas or comments would be appreaciated. Links to suggested parts would be a lot of help.

Sparkfun, and others, have relays that control 120VAC power, that can be connected directly to an Arduino. The relay is actually controlled by a transistor.

The IR library is quite easy to use.

Don't forget limit switches.
