This will be my first Adruino project of what I expect to be several more.
Thanks Polaris, you instructions are great and thanks for the code.

Ill post how it goes after the install
Ok, I got it all wired and connected to the switch and harness
unfortunately it does not work. I get a clicking sound from both the relay and somewhere in the top. If I hold the switch, it clicks and the top moves in a very slow stepping manner

I did a minor change to the design, I used pins D7&8 instead of 8&9. I did change the definitions to reflect that.

I am not a programmer and this is the first time I have used an Arduino

any ideas?
