Tinkerkit servo OR DC geared motor?

coolbox

I want to control windows using arduino.I got Tinkerkit servo in competition kit.But I just found another good solution,I found a 10 RPM 12 V DC geared which has pretty nice torque.So,need to make

decision between this two.What are your suggestions?

    Lucie I like your idea of using micro switches,with them I can add feedback.

    The geared motor is definately the best choice, Even if it will only work slowly - which considering it's opening and closing a window is a good thing!! Just fit some microswitches to provide feedback when the window is fully open or closed so the motor can switch on/off accordingly image

     

    ps. The video's cool!

    well I found that I have no appearance in this video.But I was handling this robo sitting on the bench ( which you can see in initial clippings).

  • Thanks for suggestions @Andy @Jan.

    Yes,I am also thinking for DC motor.It has very low RMP but very high trque.I have used it for a robo model you can have look.
