this would be awesome if combined with an iphone remote for the tv.

It would be even more awesome if this was combined with the x10 control interface as well as the remote.

Why would I re-invent the wheel when it’s been done?

During one of my breaks at work there is a program on the tv where people buy houses at auction and do them up.

Often the presenter wanders around the just purchased house taking the piss out of the soon to be gone 70s era decoration. I always wonder how the horrid patterned wall paper and bizarre colours didn’t look tacky as hell back in the 70s.

I guess now I know, it looked just as horrid back then. I can’t even watch that tv go up and down without cringing.

we don’t, it’s not about who can post first, it’s all about the article. we have higher brain functions which take us beyond the “oh, i get to post here first” mentality. people like that don’t even care about the article. posting first doesn’t make you better than anyone else, it just makes you faster, and faster isn’t always a good thing. ;P

now that i got that off my chest, cool idea, it would be even cooler if you had a rotational tv mount with a servo in the base, control that with the positional control from the iphone. or a track mount tv that followed you around.

even get cooler if that iphone can control an idiot…>_>…good job mate!!!

The controller board is cool, but I don’t see the point of a “TV lift” in the first place. I had to watch the video to even know what the hell it was. (And that “Lift-Tech” website was the the most hideous thing in the world!)

I essentially agree with you. It is the mother of all compromises, essentially the result of “design by committee”. But, taking it for granted, at least it’s fun to control ;)

why do you need tv lift ? I wold understand this 10 years ago when tv was huge and bulky but now, just hang it on the wall, there is now photo frame or painting lift, is there ?

Clearly neither of you buy into the bond villain aesthetic.
