This will be overkill to use a motor controller. If you just want to flip a door open on a doll house, the easiest way is to use a relay. I would rig the door on a spring tension mechanism that is kept closed on a latch. Popping the latch would unlock it and the spring tension mechanism would do all the work of opening the door. You could use cheap digital IO hardware to control the relay. You used to be able to buy $50 DAQ hardware from MCCDAQ but the NI acquisition caused all their prices to go up. So much for competition.

Admin Note: Next time, you don't have to repost. Just click on the report post button at the bottom left of the post. Then type your request into the text box. An admin will move the post into the right forum.
I would add this to the wish list. It would be nice to have a little icon next to the object like a little mini post-it note. Then by clicking this it would popup a little description overlay (no stupid modal dialog).

Imagine pair programming with your boss.
That's rough right?
Now add to that the fact that it's Jim Kring...
Welcome to my world!
Follow up on this one. It appears that the solution is to double-click on the black highlighted text box. This will remove the black "selection" mode. Has been confirmed as a bug.
LabVIEW 8.2.1
Open the attached project.
Expand the Untitled Library 1.lvlib
Doubleclick on Untitled.vit (it is now in memory)
Right-Click on Untitled.vit and select New from Template.
Go to the Untitled.vit panel (which was still in memory).
You will now see a broken arrow. Click on the broken arrow. The error message provides an explanation but there is no way to fix the problem.
The only option is to remove Untitled.vit from memory.
Just an FYI on this topic. Some good news. Here is some insider info which confirms that this will be resolved in a future release (don't ask where I got this from).
