I have an upcoming project in which I have 2x 12v linear actuator that need to be activated (one actuator extends and other retracts) at a specific time of day then they reverse at another time of day. I would also like to have 2 buttons to manually make them move (they never would go go to anything other than all the way retracted or all the way extended). So far i have thought of using my uno and some relays with 5 v coils to built a couple h-bridges 4 relays in total so i can do some polarity reversing. I would need a clock I guess to accomplish the timing of it all. Ideally the actuator would set them selves up to my desired position at midnight everyday no matter what but during the day i could use the buttons to switch actuator positions (once again full open or full close) Im crafty with circuits and relays but coding not so much.
My coding experience is ive made it through the starter package a few times and do data logging in the oilfield
