    Hi !
    I'm happy to present you my low cost simulator 2DoF made with 200€.

    This is a wood structure with 4 crossed plates.
    I use a car cardan junction for the rotation.
    For electronic parts, there are 2 wiper motors + 1 moto shield + 1 Arduino Uno.

    More pictures and price details are coming soon!
    I'm new here, don't hesitate to ask me questions !

    Nice one ,,,,,, you could probably knock 25euro off that too if you use cheapo pots ,,, but could probably do with a heat sink & fan on the MM though so would bump it back up again ,,lol.

    Good list for someone wanting to knock a cheap rig up though :thumbs

    You forgot the motors too

    I didn't find cheaper potentiometer without rotation stop. Do you have a link ?

    What do you mean by "do with a heat sink & fan on the MM "?
