Huuummm more thinking to do. Good thing I've had lots of coffee this morning.

Off the top of my head, actuating the servo with positioning information will be a "doozey." (as my Grandmother used to say)

I used one of these remote units to build a "I've fallen and I can't get up" alarm for my mother-in-law. It activates a modified security alarm with auto dial-out capability to dial up to 5 phone numbers in sequence and play a pre-recorded message that she needs help. Beats paying a $150 a month for a monitored service, and it does the job reliably.

When activated by the remote unit, a small DC motor is driven back and forth which moves an Infrared LED across the front of the intruder alarm, which it thinks is some scumbag breaking into your house, and it calls the authorities to come and bag the guy up and take him to the morgue.

There may be a way to do some "technology transfer" and get closer to solving your problem Brettski. The motor could be used to drive the choke lever maybe.

Let me have a few more cups of Java and see if any great revelations come my way today.
