A note on actuation

This is in reference to the actuator in the shown in the included shematic.

The position of a 3 phase motor is determined by, naturally, the relative currents through each coil. Therefore, by tuning the 3 voltages shown, a variety of angle behaviours can be achieved. A voltage of 0 in signal 2 should, to properly use the aim function, result in a howizontal motor position.

A motor which includes a generator cannot be used in conjunction with this program.

The second motor referenced by the program is not in the diagram. This is because it is a trivially straightforward circuit: A solenoid should be connected directly to an amplified signal, which is created directly from the controller area network.

It is reccommended that a custom built servo be used, and that it's motion be amplified using with mechanical advantage.
