temporary 3 position switch to raise/lower tow boom?
 

I'm trying to figure this out and having trouble. I'd like to use 3 position switch on one of my channels (the momentary on-off-on type) to operate a servo powered tow boom. Basically I want to be able to bump the switch a little and raise/lower it as much or as little as I want. It also needs to hold it's position and not creep.


Winches are somewhat similar in how you can reel them in and out, but I need it to stop at the end of the servo's original degree of travel. Does this make sense? Any idea how I can accomplish this?

What radio are you using. It's all done with radio programming.

You sould send Al @ HeyOK electronics a message, he almost certainly has a plug n' play solution for you.

Or just use an esc (or winch controller), programmed to a channel withe a 3-pos momentary switch and set the end points to limit travel.

What are you using on the truck to move the boom?

The radio is a modded CT6B, nothing too fancy. I might switch over to a th9x though because I need more channels. Maybe it's possible with that radio?

For moving them boom, I'm just using a servo.

I should reach out to Al it seems. Maybe he can help me wrap my head around this. I need things to work a very specific way and just can't figure it out on my own. I've done a lot of digging/reading here though and see that he has some amazing products and knowledge!

Thank you all for your time and help!

Just Set one of the buttons to adjust the servo trim and done.
