    Hi All,

    I've been lurking in the side reading posts and getting my head around the 2DOF sims.

    I'm hoping to actually start building one in a few months and will likely be popping up asking questions here and there.

    Noticed a few people on here from Sydney and surrounds so if are selling stuff any time soon let me know :)

    Thanks and look forward to contributing (and learning)

    Regards,

    Archie.

    Hello @Archie , not planning to sell anything , but if you are in Sydney Western Suburbs at some time, you are welcome to drop in and check out my rides for a show and tell. Just drop me a PM.
    Sometimes to see how it goes together makes a big difference in building
    Cheers, David.

    Cheers David. I actually visit Blacktown/Glenwood every 3-6 months or so to see my daughter so will take you up on that offer one day. Thanks.

    I am going to head down the JRK path after reading many forum posts. I do like Arduino however it can be a pain to perfect.

    Can I ask, I notice you recommend the Worm Drive, is that still your preferred choice?

    Thank you,

    Andrew (Archie)

    Mate that is awesome! Great build... I'm chomping at the bit now to start building mine.

    Do you have a link to your build thread? I'll have a search around the forum anyway. :)

    EDIT: Found it. It's a @bsft beast. Excellent ;)
