Autopilot from a wiper motor?

Are you talking jack screw? You just reinvented the linear actuator :)

I didn’t understand how lower voltage could result in more torque myself. That is why I put the question mark there, it didn’t make sense. Lower voltage may also slow it down some, maybe at 24V it...

Re: Autopilot from a wiper motor?

I’m pretty sure that the CPT autopilot is or was an over the road truck windshield wiper motor, I was told it’s a 24V motor but running it at 12V somehow increases its torque?
