    I am genuinely sorry for having to ask such fundamental questions but I cant seem to find the answers to the very basics.

    I would like to build a seat with four linear actuators powered by air but really dont know where to start,

    four actuators, could anyone supply me with generic specs ?which would be suitable?

    control unit, this can be an old pc? based on a two pc set up?

    Compressor

    chassis

    seat

    I was originally going to build a seat which operated using rotary and linear sensors from the steering wheel and pedal set ups. This was so I could play gt5 really.


    Can someone please take it back to the very beginning and tell me what I need to do? Cheers guys..
