Just had a thought. Might be able to do this with a rod attached to a magnet, And then energize and create a like poled magnetic field which would push The other magnet away - connected together with a spring to pull it back When the eletro magnet gets deenergized. Hmmm.

OK. I'm trying to use a Raspberry pi to push a button, but only want to use one GPIO port. Basically, I'm trying to get the pi to turn a device on or off - and can't easily get to Where the button on the device's board is at to have the pi trigger with a relay, So I plan to mount the device, and have something just push the button directly. Do they make a device that when energized, will push a rod out then back? Right now, my only option (maybe not only), would be to create a Scotch Yoke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_yoke But for space contraints, and ease, I'd rather put in something that would do That as it's primary function.
