Hello everybody, I am not deep in electronics but I have build some circuits in the past, this time I have something that it is beyond me and that is why I am going to need some help. So I have a rear engine car and I want to convert the engine hood be able to open and close depending the of oil temperature. I am thinking to put a linear actuator and depending the oil temperature readings the actuator can move to a specific position until to full open when temp is maximum!! For example if the oil temp is between 60-65 degrees the actuator can move a little, from 65-70 a little more, from 70 and above to full open. I am not sure if there is a programmable option or not. Any ideas about what circuit I have to use?
Ps. my other alternative is to do it manually using a 3 point switch that can run the actuator in a specific position but I would like to study both cases.
