Nwmo | I looked at doing this several years ago, then gave up. Maxbotix sensors are what I planned to use. They were familiar with what I was trying to do and recommended a sensor they thought would work well but I dont remember the model. I got bogged down in the programming, I didnt have a clear picture in my mind of how I wanted it to work. Ultimately I wanted the arduino to control the boom up down functions with the joystick buttons as inputs to the arduino rather than just having the arduino monitor the boom buttons to switch back to manual control. Then I really got bogged down trying to mesh a debouncing library into the code. In the end I think I ran out of inputs and outputs on the uno and then feared the arduino would make so many boom adjustments so quickly it would wear out the solenoid valves or maybe cause valve float problems. I already have some issue with spools breaking. It wasnt a good first project because it kind of soured me on arduino programming.
