Hi community.
Is it possible to connect the linear actuator with Cube+ orange. I’m developing a big rover and want to use linear actuator as steering system for the turning of the rover.

What is the possibility to achieve this problem statement.

Thanks in advance.

I think some more information mainly about your linear actuator is needed.

A simple two wire actuator is nearly useless for steering control. You need an actuator that can take servo input and has position feedback.

Thanks @Yuri_Rage
What can be the alternative to the servo motor, as I need high torque steering system for the rover.

Lots of options using a linear servo. Plugs directly into your flight controller for control. Just need to feed it from the main power supply.
