dash cover/ door idea

left field suggestion
But how about a deskjet type printer motor it's a stepper motor so can be controlled and moves at different speeds.

Of course the control is the problem needs to be set so it moves the door up slowly maybe control through it's normal interface if you could send it a signal to do a paper feed to move it out and another to move it back.

slow moving solenoid controlled by PWM (pulse width modulation) from a 555 timer.

I have a lot of other stuff to do before I get to this stage.

It's not a spam!

Russian is difficult to translate in english. I mean that some my friends are doing some weird devices too.

I used "maniacs" it means "persistent person".
