-The Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on the ATmega AVR micro-controller line. We chose the {\bf Arduino Ethernet} model which mounts a ATmega328 micro-controller with has 32 KB of ROM  and 2 KB of SRAM and already includes a 10 Mbit ethernet interface (WizNet W5100 chipset).
+The two linear actuators are fixed on a modified of the T-shaped cable support plates and on a L-shaped support which is shrewd to the lid. The T and L-shaped supports are made in blue anodized aluminum and are shown in Fig.\ref{figShutterPhoto}.

-\section{Appearance}
+The linear actuators are provided by Linak with a custom proprietary cable fitted with sealed connector which contains a total of $8\times$ AWG20/24 wires of which only 5 are used from the LA23 actuators. The maximal cable length is 5~m and the provided cable is not shielded. For this reason we reduced the custom cable length to the minimum (about 70~cm) and we used 35~m of UV-resistent shielded cable instead to reach the control electronics.

+In view on the PWM operation, the unused wires of the actuator cable were connected to ground with the goal of reducing the noise on the Hall potentiometer and current sensing measurement.
