       | My desk was made by LINAK, who also provides some IKEA standing
       | desks too. Here's the adaptor if anyone is interested:

       | The project seems like a perfect opportunity to play around with
       | some arduino-like board. It could probably be embedded inside the
       | control panel and powered from the desk itself.
