Super
very cool! what farm is this?
We appreciate your interest in the farm featured in our video! The farm is situated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. In accordance with this specific farm's request concerning our drone footage, we are unable to disclose specific details, including the farm's name/location, in our marketing and promotional materials. We plan to provide more videos with examples of our work at other locations which will include more details.
Thank you. So did you set the controller to “OPEN” first to make sure it would run while you were doing it?
Lisa, when you are setting the limit switches, we recommend you connect your motor to a battery, rather than the controller. This allows you to immediately disconnect the motor from its power source as needed when adjusting the limit switch.
