Post Body

I want to create a windows app that reads a number value (via OCR or something) from the screen and sends that value to a linear actuator in real-time. So I want a linear actuator to move based on a number value in a different program (that's constantly changing).

I accomplished this a while ago; I used OCR to read the number and sent it to an Arduino that controlled a stepper motor (via GRBL and G Code). It all worked but my latency was too slow (about 1 sec).

How would you guys set this up so that it has low latency? Also, this might be the incorrect subreddit for this but which linear actuator would you go with.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
