Okay, I have a futon, if anyone else does, they know it's a pain in the a-- to get it to turn from couch-mode back to bed-mode and back again, so I wanted to design a simple machine to attach to the bottom of my futon to push and pull, or twist, on the futon, to turn it into the bed then couch, then back again, as needed, understand what I mean?
Okay, I have TWO questions on this, answer either of them and It'd be much appreciated, thank you...
1- Could someone help me as to understand HOW I would go about making a mechanical contraption to do the above? Note that I have very little knowledge in electronics, more of a software man myself...
2- Could someone direct me to a piece of software that could help me to do this? And I don't mean electronic how-to's, I mean a program which I could model and build this project in then understand how to build the project myself.
