    Self build controller and motor drivers.

    Wiper motors marked as 30W from daewoo lanos.
    I think, i should add some smooth in Simtools. But currently it's more fun. :)

    self built controller, interesting, what did you base it off?
    Simtools may smooth motion out, but any software can give wild motion.

    Greeting from Sydney.
    I built myself a sled style sim and have really enjoyed it up until I found this web site.
    I am now in the process of converting it to a 2 dof sim because of you guys.
    Have done a bit of the work and have acquired an Arduino Uno R3 and a Monster Moto board.
    Still lots left to do but I am hoping to connect it all up asap.
    Will have lots of questions in a while probably.

    Greetings , you might have an issue moving all that in one go, I would recommend a seat mover addition would make this pleasure to be in.
    Actually think MotionDaves Seat Mover or another sim is for sale in Sydney, running Jrks.
    Any way Welcome !.

    Thanks eaorobbie,
    I have made a seat mover addition as you have said with 2 big worm gear motors off a motorised golf buggy, haven't got the pics up yet.
    I have been reading through a lot of posts from you and others, you guys are a wealth of info.
    Thanks for the help you guys have already given by sharing this info.
