Your spot on Dave.

Most garage door motors look like windscreen wiper motors, although many have their electrical motors wound differently, and take a look at what they can do. The trick is to find a motor with a compatible encoder built in, to give positional information for dome automation. I am currently doing some experimentation with a garage door motor that looks like a windscreen wiper, but has more torque, and gives positional info for lesvedome.
