Let me clarify: I have already purchased the remote, receivers, actuator and controller with handheld. And it works except for the nagging detail that a command only causes about 1/2 second of actuator activation due to the short control pulse.
So at this point I'm looking for solutions that uses what I have. Basically I need something to do a latch function that can be unlatched when full travel is reached.
While a PIC would be a nice solution, (I have only 12C509s and 16F603(?)) but regardless, time to code, design a circuit, design corresponding PCB and fab would be about 10x the time it would take with relays and basic discreet components. Not to mention , someone may have to fix this after I'm gone.
