Yeah, I'm currently pulsing the open/close command to the actuator for a half second. With the actuator currently not under any load, it is more than enough time to get full actuation. We'll see if some tweaking is needed after its installed. At the moment, I'm not planning on using any switches to verify open/closed status.
