Vintage NISHIJIN CircuiT x 2 Full Cyclic

[CarlW]

any chance the tire will operate as original ??

Simple answer YES.

Long Answer:
Tire gate is opened by the OEM, 24V DC, solenoid and closed by a spring.
This will be controlled by the Arduino via a separate, diode isolated, relay.

All OEM switches are micro switches wired normally open.
