    Hello!
    An "old new" here.
    After much hesitation I spend on X-Simulator.
    Friends recommended me this app because I search for something simple to use.
    My job does not allow me to spend a lot of time to adjust, test.
    I was told that it was easy to use.
    Sorry for my English, Google is fortunately a great friend
    I think I am often here to bother you with my questions

    Welcome @KOOL.

    You can duel post in your native language as long as you include and English translation.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language groups so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.
