Any devices on the market that could be used to press a 3ds button over and over?

I asked here years ago and a solenoid was recommended, I tried looking into it but the stuff available was uni-directional and I just didn't have much luck trying to find something that would work.

Is there anything out there I could just makeshift for this purpose, or is there anything else I could try and ghetto rig?

A small gear motor (one that does like 60RPM or whatever you need) with a cam stuck on the end would do it.

A microwave turntable motor would probably work well. It depends on the RPMs obviously, some are pretty slow, but they are normally 110v.

if you explain the actual problem, there may be a less retarded solution.

a solenoid would be fine, just attach a spring to it so when you cut the power going to it, it retracts. even better: make your own with a coil of wire and a nail so you can coil a spring around the nail head (cut off the tip of the nail that's in contact with the button)

Rc servo + Arduino is way easier

Mosfet and pulse generator.

Run the collector and drain across the buttons. Achieve 1khz or higher push rate. Shit will be very cash.

Hack it and use a program that inputs it automatically

Is it so hard you fucking retard to tell what's the purpose?

Lego technic set. I have done it before with a PS3 controller.

Oh! I know this! It's a play on everyone's favorite "how to I make a machine that will nudge something the size of a walnut through a tightly sized opening" thread! Good one, OP. You got us again! (It's a troll thread, guys.)

I have used one of those and I can say it pressed my buttons very well.

You can map the L shoulder button to A and just put an elastic band on it. Good luck with Etrian Odyssey grinding, OP.
