Hello! Complete newbie here (should probably introduce myself over in that thread) preparing for my first proper layout.
Thing is, I want to control the switches remotely, and having some previous knowledge with Arduino programming and robotics, geekservos seemed like an amazing and easily scalable solution to that.
However, I'm really struggling with the whole building aspect - the mounting points on the servo just never seem to line up with the input on the switch, and all my attempts at shifting it just end up with the build being too weak to handle the force of the servo.
For reference, this is roughly the design I'm currently working with:
I picked it because it sits flat, as with my current budget I don't want to do MILS (though I did experiment with it, didn't get it to work, but mounting was easier).
For mounting the servo, I first just connected it straight to the switch, with tiles under the servo to prohibit it from moving. This was too weak. My second attempt was to fix the servo to a plate with holes using axles with stops, but here I ran into the issue that the output of the servo is offset by half a stud. Also, just to be clear, for it to sit flat I'm mounting the servo on it's side, so the output it horisontal.
There are probably a few more things I could try (gearing, more jumpers etc.), but asking on the forums if someone else has had any luck seemed the wisest thing to do.
