[sdiy] FaderBuddy - OSHW motorized fader module

[drheqx]

Adafruit sells long motorized faders as well

I'm sure you've seen the melbourne instruments synths. They have rotary
motorized pots.

There are several variants out there from Bourns, and alps, they're around
13 bucks each. You'd need a different version control loop, however,
totally doable
