Matt,
Dien gave PERFECT information (maybe, without even knowing it).
Check your area for Inventors Clubs (Ask at the library, or Chamber of Commerce).
I belonged to one located in Oak Ridge, TN, and it took me a while to come down when I met such ordinary folks as the guy that developed a new "run silent" system for our submarines, etc.
BUT.. these people will help you, point out ways to get the job done, and also give you a nudge if you're headed in the WRONG direction.
Stay away from those "We'll Sell Your Invention" companies. I tried one, and it cost me $3700.00 WITHOUT ever getting a patent on the project.
