just had a thought on a possible way to use a Wiper Motor. it won't be like a regular servo 100%, more like a momentary but i think it could get someone very close and i'm sure the electrical wizards in here could work out the last detail. first there would be the wiper motor, to power it, it would require a set of relays activated by micro (cherry) switches. the servo would rotate activating on of the micro switches. that then triggers the relays (going to need 2 relays per side of this i think) to click on (as the relay could handle the voltage and amperage better than the micro switch). the first of the 2 relays sends power to the wiper motor and it starts to turn (say to the vehicle to the left). as soon as the operator decides it's turned far enough, he lets the stick go back to center, and the relay switches off - BUT there is now power to the other side of the relay that is now making the wiper motor go in the other direction. it will keep going until ? and this is where it needs to be finished. what ever it is, it has to turn off the second servo as that is sending power to the first for the wiper motor. i figure what ever it is, it'll have to be mounted next to the steering arm for when it comes back to center and please don't make me draw this out as i'm sure i'd get some of it wrong, but the idea is sound, just need help with the last part Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html)
