    This document describes the design of a 4-bar linkage driven by a piston. It provides the design parameters, equations used, and results of simulations with the piston at different lengths. The key parameters include the lengths of the bars, the location and force of the piston, and the desired output location and force. The document solves the kinematic equations to calculate the position and orientation of the output link for the given piston positions.
