    Hello Friend ...
    I have been accompanying the wind project and I am very happy
    I just got the materials needed for my project.
    But I've read all the posts trying to figure out how to do it so I can have my project working.
    I use google translator and with my difficulty in programming and I noticed that they had modifications in the project over time and finally they arrived at an ideal configuration congratulations to all involved.
    But unfortunately I do not have the same ability and facility to understand how everything worked .....
    I would like if someone could do a summary so I can be making mine work as well.
    I put everything together like this in the post.
    simtools 2.0 pro
    1 Arduino R3
    1 MM
    2 inductors of 470uhy 6a
    2 fans 12v
    1 source 12v 30A
    But I'm not able to load the code for the arduino
    And besides that I have read and reread the post I could not even understand which line should I change for PWM. work with Iracing etc.
    Please can i take a step by step how to make my ventop simulator work?
    I'm not lazy and it was actually read the full post because my lack of programming knowledge affects my learning!
    I will be very grateful to you.
    And this will help many users just like me.
    Thank you!

    hello friends, I've come to show you how my wind simulator got to you! If someone wants to use my box made in 3d printer just talk to me that I make the file available! This box is for the arduino with 80mm cooler. I made it personalized with my logo. But I can withdraw if that is the case. I also want to thank the @SilentChill for having made available the Arduino code that made it very easy for me! And to all involved in this wonderful project.

    Hi Guys. I love the project ,that way I decide to build it and add to my rig.Its second arduino uno I brick/damage? After upload the sketch to the uno and power up software and the game it works for 10 minutes and stop working . When I checked the green led on is not on anymore. I try to upload sketch again , separate monster moto from arduino and got the message "
    avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
    avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xdb
    I try to reset arduino but nothing working??
    This is my second uno ,one from ebay,one from jaycar (local store)
    Any sugestion guys ,is it chance monster moto is faulty and damage urduino or do I do something wrong.
    Everything worked fine for few minutes so I belive all cables are solder ok , no any burn smell ,is just stop working

    Well, you are using inductors like original POST sugest?

    here besides having put the heatsinks on top of the MM chip I also put a 12mm fan on top

    I didn't use fan or/and heat sinks. Is that means my monster moto overheating? What about Arduino ,is it damage because I didn't have heat sink and fan?

    I have the same type power supply. Is it possible that it couse the problem with Arduino? I saw the sets for sell pre assembled and similar power supply like the one we have. Doas anyone use led power supply with success for our project?

    Hey guys,
    I'm trying to set up everything but after having bought a lot of parts the Seaflo doesn't run constantly like the following video demonstrates:


    I've bought the following adapter (12V, 6A):
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC110-220V...var=571173310725&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    Even when I connect the Seaflo directly to this power adapter it gives me the same issue.
    I'm not that advanced with electronics in this way, so what am I doing wrong? How can I make sure power source can handle the Seaflow?

    Thanks in advance!
    Harm

    You don't have enaugh power. You should buy bigger power supply 20A 12v at least.
    One seaflo can drain 6 A so the ps you got is good enaugh for one fan only

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I forgot to mention that the video is not from me, but I'm simply experiencing the same issue. I have just one Seaflo, so it should be enough theoretically, but if I understand you correctly, having a bit more amps is not a bad idea, right?

    You can connect 12v 30A PS as will be fine. But if is not enough power you will have trouble
