    Good day everyone.
    So, I am about to connect and test the first 2 motors for the seat mover. I have 4 x 320W motors rated at 12V. (75Nm at 70 rpm) 2 for the seatmover, 1 for traction loss and another for heave.

    I'd thought I will give the Cytron smartdrive-duo-60 a go.

    For position feedback I have a gear arrangement. I have some 3 mm plexiglass available and made some mounts for the potentiometers. The ratio is 1:1.8.

    I have a triple screen setup on a curved desk. I realise that it is a bit high but I will drop after the first few runs.

    For heave, I am constructing a crank that will push the rear of the up. I reckon 30mm either way from the zero position.

    Thanks for having a look!

    I like your curved desk!

    Looking forward the Heave mechanism you're designing
