Control Acutonix linear actuator from Arduino MKR 3.3v board

Hello,

Is there any way to control this linear servo https://www.actuonix.com/l16-140-150-6-r which requires a 5v signal, from the Arduino MKR 1010 Wifi board which has an operating voltage of 3.3v, using your level shifter https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009 in-between the servo and the Arduino on the signal wire?

I’d like to power the linear servo from a separate power supply, with the signal wire & shared ground going to the board.

Are we using the best board for the job? We have pretty tight space limitations.

Thanks in advance for your insight and guidance.

It will probably still work with 3.3 volt control but if it doesn’t, a logic level converter will fix that.
