    Hello everyone.
    I did mostly redesign this week, because I getting close to the ending of the main mechanical part and I need to correct all the errors and last minute change I did.
    I made my part that gauge the position of the actuator so that I can make fine adjustment without having to remove the gear of my potentiometer.

    I redesign the bottom part for the limit switch to be in an angle so it clears the 45 degrees wheel part.

    I removed the power surge diodes that were between the batteries and the Sabertooth as it seems not to be the right place for it. I need to put them between the PSU and the Batteries. My electronic is cleaner.

    I placed my seat.

    I was able to do so, even though I'm still waiting for may other part co come back, because I attached it to the pole with an climbing cord.

    So, in a sense, nothing's prevent me to sit on it...

    You do rock climbing? (OT, I know, but...)

    No, I don't. I only do boulder inside. But it's already been years since I did some. Shame. I like that. For the real climbing, I'm scared of heights.

    It's the same for flying and climbing: The further away from the ground you are the safer you are. But I know, it's not easy to explain that to your instincts.
