Moses,

Years ago I used parts from an old JVC video camera to remotely turn a 10 turn potentiometer. I used the zoom control button and circuit board with the zoom motor and gears to turn the pot. The button (zoom in/out) was some sort of variable resistance control and allowed for very slow, fine, smooth, control of the motor direction and speed. It operated from 12 volts. If you can find an old camera like that, you may be able to hack it apart.

Hi Vger!

I did just what you said, hacking apart my old digital nikon compact camera and using its miniature motor plus some additional bits and parts to control the focuser knob. I'm just at best half way thru the project coz quite i'm busy since the first day i asked for help on this matter.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for sharing your own experience and success.

To the rest, thank you too for all the help.

God bless ya all!(group)
