Abstract

An actuator includes a mechanical transducer component capable of applying a mechanical force to an external object in response to electronic signals. The actuator includes a communications interface capable of wirelessly receiving configuration data related to operation of the actuator. A settings module is coupled to the communications interface and capable of storing the configuration data. A controller unit is coupled to the mechanical transducer and the settings module. The controller unit is capable of determining the configuration data via the settings module and controlling the mechanical transducer in conformance with the configuration settings.
