Hello

I am having this very same request, however my request has a bit of a twist.

I have three promotional Hydraulic valves but twi have died.

The manufacturer wants £2500 per valve + engineering time to calibrate my valves.

Now, the problem with them is the electronics side of things.

Basically it is fried.

I have a good one though...

so my plan is to get away with the electronic side of things of all my valves and control all three directly from an Arduino if I can.

The mechanical side of all the valves work well as I tried the electronics that work on all three valves and I can control the actuators sending a -10 to +10 v signal into it...


I was wondering if anyone here would like the challenge of helping me achieve this?

I am happy to discuss fees if necessary as I have a bit out urgency on this so anyone that knows how to achieve this it would be appreciated top come forward.

kind Regards

Marco
