Vehicle actuator remote control system
First Claim
1. A vehicle actuator control system for controlling the vertical movement of the four corners of a vehicle, comprising:
- a) a transmitter module having a multi-function lever, wherein the lever having a plurality of peripheral initiating positions, wherein each initiating position activates a switch that initiates a different radio frequency signal; and
b) a receiver module for receiving the radio frequency signals, the receiver module having a radio frequency receiver unit, a microprocessor and output ports, wherein the radio frequency receiver receives the radio frequency signal and transmits the radio frequency signal to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor converts the signal to a set of commands that initiate one or more output ports, and wherein the output ports are operatively connected to initiate vehicle actuators on the vehicle;
wherein each peripheral initiating position initiates a different action by one or more of the vehicle actuators, and whereby each vehicle actuator controls the up and down motion of the vehicle near a vehicle wheel.

Abstract
The control system includes a microprocessor based radio frequency receiver module and a radio frequency handset transmitter module. The microprocessor receives a specific input from the remote transmitter. The handset transmitter module contains two joysticks. Two different sets of eight peripheral initiating positions are located in a circular formation with one of the joysticks at the center of each circular formation. Each initiating position activates a switch. Each switch activates a different radio frequency (RF) signal that activates a particular vehicle actuator.
