Arduino powered stow away for small whiteboard

My workshop is crammed into a very small space (it is smaller than Bill's workshop. So I'm constantly struggling trying to get more useful things in there, without blocking anything.

This morning I woke up with the idea to have a small whiteboard (60x45cm) in my workshop that i could have as a sketch board (or rather a variable cheat sheet) close to me when I'm working on projects, but I could not find a suitable spot for it.

After 3 more coffee's I came up with an idea!

Et voila, the first alpha version of a working stow away whiteboard arm, powered by an arduino Uno (for now)

With special thanks to Bill, who inspired me with his simply amazing workshop and the wonderful lessons I learned from the Dronebot workshop youtube videos.

Now I can look at my scribbles, notes and ideas while sitting at my workbench and when I have to get parts from the shelves in that corner, I simply push the button and it gets out of the way!

The setup is pretty simple as you can see, some pretty standard metal pieces from the hardware store, 2 servo motors en an Arduino Uno.

The current try-out version has 2 push buttons, 1 to unfold and one to fold the arm.

Eventually the controls will all go into 1 big dashboard workshop control box I'm designing.
