Alright, this is the part where I ask for help because I have no idea why my circuit doesn't work. From everything I can tell, the program is working perfectly and the circuit outputs exactly what I want it to. The leads from the h-bridge to the actuator sit at 0V normally. When I trigger it one way I get 5V. When I trigger it the other way I get -5V on my meter. Sounds right to me. However, when I hook up the actuator to the leads, it just kinda twitches and doesn't go in or out real far at all. The h-bridge is rated for 5 amps, so its not like it can't handle the power. I'm kind of at a loss here as my electronics knowledge is sorely lacking. I'm sure you'll probably need more info and clarification, so ask away.
