I totally forgot to upload a video of the controller that Dustin built for me, thanks buddy  ::beers  ::K

It works awesome and it is super easy to install, here is a small video that I made a while back.

usmc_butler .... you are the man for making it available to all of us

Fieroking : its great that you are able to build these from his prints / design you guys both done a great job ,Very impressed , happy to have both of you on OUR site ...... Kudo,s to you both  ::salute ::thumbup ::K ::headbang ::beers
We hope our post help someone finish their build or get them interested in our hobby and start a build.

Well, I guess I misunderstood what you were doing lol! I thought the four switches you were installing were hooking up to the paddles somehow, and that didn't seem possible. I thought I knew what all the switches did on the actual car, so it confused me when you said you were mounting them in the E-gear plate.

Mike, I guess I don't understand your question? You know where every button is located as well as anybody does on the Murci... My plan (as listed earlier in the thread) it to use the OEM Reverse button left of the column for the reverse and the E-gear buttons for Park Neutral and Manual (Drive). However I recently found out that on the original e-gear Lamborghini's, to get the tranny into neutral you hold both paddles back for 2 seconds so I will probably change my code, since it will be an easy fix and be more original.

Hope this answers your question ::thumbup

The Engine/Transmission used with this setup is the LS4 4T65E HD from a Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. The transmission comes with Tap Shift built in. The Gear selector in the GXP cockpit has Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Manual. When in the manual position the paddles on the steering wheel control the shifting of the transmission both up and down. The transmission will not shift unless you command it, other than it shifts to 1st if you come to a stop. That is why I only need 4 buttons.

Where are those 4 buttons located on the real Murcielago?

Thanks, Joe glad I could help! Also can't thank Alan and Jb1 enough for the help and motivation! ::beers Looks good ::headbang, I just ordered the new 12 V linear actuator with the speed of 1.5 in/s thats twice as fast as the one I have now! Im going to take the one I am currently using and put it on my batwings...

Looks great guys and it's cool to see it working in a video.  I ordered the stuff last night to build a controller that will operate my rear spoiler by GPS (vehicle speed) and and off the same controller I'll automatically control the position of my bat wings off my engine temperature.  I'm trying new 32 bit ARM processor version called the Arduino Due.  I'll have a set of rocker switches on the console to allow bypass mode so I can also control them manually or automatically.

Why does it only have 4 positions, and why do you have 4 switches? Aren't you going to hook this up to your paddles?

Mine is alive also. I aet mine up to go to Park when the power is cycled. Thanks again Butler for sharing your work.

JRK 21v3 actuator settings (sorry forgot about posting this earlier). This is how mine is set up the PID settings can be changed however the schematics is over my head when it came to those figures

Here is a wire diagram for a 3 position switch and code. Did this for Tallon


/*
This code is to used to move an actuator to 3 different positions.
This code is provided as is with no warranty.
*/

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define rxPin 3 // pin 3 connects to SMC TX
#define txPin 4 // pin 4 connects to SMC RX
#define resetPin 5 // pin 5 connects to SMC nRST
#define errPin 6   // pin 6 connects to SMC ERR
SoftwareSerial smcSerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);

// some variable IDs
#define ERROR_STATUS 0

// define our stop points
#define pos3 1900
#define pos2 1600
#define pos1 1400

int currentPos = 1;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);    // for debugging (optional)
  smcSerial.begin(9600);

  //On first power move the selected value.
  changePosition(currentPos);

  // clear the safe-start violation and let the motor run
  exitSafeStart();

  //Setup our digital pins for input mode.
  pinMode(22, INPUT);
  pinMode(26, INPUT);
  pinMode(30, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Debuging code for looping through the digital ports.
  //for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {

        //place actuator in position 3
        if (digitalRead(22) == 1) {
          currentPos = 3;
          changePosition(currentPos);
          delay(1000);
         // break;
        }
        //place actuator in position 2
        if (digitalRead(26) == 1) {
          currentPos = 2;
          changePosition(currentPos);
          delay(1000);
          //break;
        }

        if (digitalRead(30) == 1) {
         currentPos = 1;
         changePosition(currentPos);
         delay(1000);
         //break;
        }
 
    /*

   //Pause the loop for a moment.
    delay(100);
 
 //check for any errors on the error pin.
  if (digitalRead(errPin) == HIGH) {
    Serial.print("Error Status: 0x");
    Serial.println(getVariable(ERROR_STATUS), HEX);
    // once all other errors have been fixed,
    // this lets the motors run again
    exitSafeStart();
  }
}

//moveMotor based on number.
void changePosition(int positionNum) {
 switch (positionNum) {
   case 3:
     moveMotor(pos3);
     break;
   case 2:
     moveMotor(pos2);

     break;
  }
}

// returns the specified variable as an unsigned integer.
// if the requested variable is signed, the value returned by this function
