Servo type bearings
Is there a way to make a bearing move only while a button is pressed? I built a scissor lift, but every time I need to adjust the height I need to adjust the values in the controller as I can't control the stopping point of the bearings manually.

I'm also attempting to build a crane and have run into the same problem. I can preprogram the amount of rotation via the controller but cannot control rotation amount on the fly.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? I would like my rotation to begin upon button press and stop upon button release. This would allow for much more dynamic, manually controlled creations.

If you put a bearing (through a controller) on 15 degrees and on loop. every time you hold a button it should rotate. when you release ot goes to the neares 15 degree position.

you can also attach buttons to the drive chair, this allows you button numbered controls as you sit in the chair, use a bunch of these and you could add up degrees on different bearings, another options worth playing with.

Yeah, I've used that method, but it just isn't precise enough. Maybe this will be a feature added at a later date. I figured out the switches and buttons to the chair pretty early on, but thanks.
