    Hey all I just wanted to inform anyone interested in using Arduino and monsters to control their sim that I will be making some control boxes pre loaded with @RufusDufus SMC3 code. I will configure, assemble and test the components for you. This will possibly put sims in more peoples reach as some of the steps and issues using monsters and Arduino will be resolved. This will offer diy builders an inexpensive option at a fraction of the cost and time associated with other controller solutions. I will be making them 1 at a time and to your specs ie: half bridge, full bridge etc.. Contact me here or via conversation.

    here is a link to the smc3 thread http://www.xsimulator.net/community...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    2dof control just needs 12 volt wiring and put into its enclosure. More photos to follow.

    This is it in its enclosure. Pots plug into the top. The rest is 12v red and black in. Black and white out. This is set up for two dof half bridge config (1 monster for each motor). This will easily run 300watt motors.

    I will post a price after adding a fan, testing and more photos. It will likely be under 50.oous plus shipping.
