Hello,
I'm new to the forum and I have a question for you all. I am building a bed that slides up into a wall, the bed slides on guided tracks into a vertical position. I am done with the construction side of it and its working perfectly. Now, I need help with the electrical side of it. To make things simple, I figured I would use a garage door opener because the bed basically works like a garage door. The problem is garage door openers travel about 7 inches per second and thats too fast for comfort. I want it travel about 2-3 inches per second and this where I'm stuck. If you guys could tell me what I need to make this happen it would be great. I'm assuming I cant just throw a speed controller in there. I was thinking I should go with a older model because the are a lot less complicated as far as the electronics.
Thanks guys and gals**broken link removed**
