This is a remix of the "Platform Jack" to make it completely motorized. This is a fairly simple and cheap project with little prior knowledge of electronics needed.

You will need:
AA battery housing(2x)
Standard Carling Switch
Small DC motor(I used the 50RPM which takes it about 30 seconds to fully extend and in my opinion it is a little slow. The higher RPM motors should fit this as well) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082GNPTCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
20g wire
Assembly:
-Put the switch in the 'CONTROLS' Box and the motor in the 'motor mount' before you start connecting wires
-On the switch, connect terminals 1 and 6 to one terminal of the motor and 3 and 4 to the other.

-Connect your batteries together in series and then to terminals 2 and 5
-Make sure to test the switch to make sure your motor is turning in the right directions.
-Use a Dremel to make a slot in the knob of the 'Platform jack' to accept the 'shaft connector'
-Put the 'shaft connector' on the motor and attach it to the knob on the 'Platform Jack'
-Insert batteries
Powder graphite works great to help the screw move more freely
All exposed wires should be covered
