Well I got the proof of concept working.
I know I can now get intermittent wipers on my GMC.
Just an Arduino mini, a servo and a piece of piano wire.
Viola!
( the laptop is only the power supply when it's running. )
Basically the servo turns on the wiper for a second, then turns them off and lets them park. If you turn them off too soon, they go real slow the whole time, too late and they go twice.
Might need to add a position switch to the wipers so I know when I can turn them off.
The system also allows full usage of the variable speed system with the flick of a switch.
Here is the intermittent wipers in action.
