    Hi All,

    I'm Tukoda from Essen, Germany and I've stumbled over this site while looking for some information on using wiper motors for steering wheel force feedback.

    A little bit about myself:
    I'm a 36-years old software developer and the last 15-years I've worked in the german computer games industry but now I'm up to something new, but don't know what it is yet ;)
    I'm quite good at soldering and electronics and know how to build cabinets and other stuff from wood.
    I like racing games and currently play GRID 2, GRID Autosport, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa and NfS:Hot Pursuit (2010).

    That's it for the moment. I'll have a look at the stuff on this site now :)

    Cheers,
    Tukoda

    My company is trying to build a 2DOF platform, and I am researching information on the forum to help me solve the problems.

    Welcome @Pawks.

    It does indeed take considerable time to go through the huge amount of valuable member generated projects and information found here.

    Even in the planning phase it pays to start your own thread and kick ideas around, you will be surprised how helpful the community can be in refining ideas, getting a parts list together and flagging things you may not think of.
