Guys this is the controller board I used for my wing sweep.

https://www.pololu.com/product/1393

The original yellow board did a meltdown on me on the bench.

This contraption allows you to take a regular servo input (Pulse Width Modulation) from the Rx and control your wing sweep like a giant servo.

You need a feedback Potentiometer to keep track of the wing position. I used the same 5K Pot that was in the original wing sweep mechanism.

You can configure this board with a PC to program speed, endpoints, overloads and a number of other functions.

Hope it helps,

Steve
