So uh...my understanding of electronics is minimal at best, but I'm fairly good at picking things up...kinda...
What I need to create is a pair of wings attatched to a backpack like structure, controlled by a small remote in the wrist with a few buttons to do minimal things. Basically move the wings together in four directions. One is the tips guiding the rotation up and out in a traditional extension, one being back in, one taking the entire wings and bringing them back so their backs touch, one bringing them back in. I can make a diagram if needed. It would need only four buttons to do so, and would move so long as the button is held but with a restriction where it will stop (so theres no accidents with overextending). One way I thought of accomplishing this was with fishing wire tightened and loosened in various ways by small two direction motors or something like that? Any and all ideas would be appreciated, especially cheaper options where i can, for example, get parts from small toys or cheap items. I'm not worried about the structure of the wing, just the actual mechanics of making it move and making a remote to make it move. I have no problem with wires as i can simply hide them with the sleeve, but if theres a wireless option it would be way better.
Please please please help! I would appreciate it so much!!!
