    Used MonsterMoto Shield Example Sketchdate: 5/24/11code by: Jim Lindblomhardware by: Nate Bernstein SparkFun Electronics, to test my connections. Both wiper turns from one side to another. Tested without pots.

    My future plan to use 2 dof in DCS.
    Now im going to:
    1. Install Simtools and Life for speed to test everything is working with pots.
    2. If test success I will start to build seat.
    Please post somebody is it right plan or I need somethingto install more ? Thank for everybody for adwise. Will post my results of my project.

    Thank you noorbeast for your replay. I will try SMC 3 firs. But first I need cooling fan on my motor driver modul because it is very hot and read more FAQ.

    I placed cooling fan on my motor driver modul. Now the temperature is ok. Worked about an hour without heating.

    Not at all. But depending on the model you will have to isolate it from mass.

    It goes to taste. It will depend on the power you want and have in power supply and amps. I use 24v with 700w source and 49 amps.

    Already. I see that you are not the author of the tutorial. But when you put the link, I only meant that it is a good contribution. Regards!

    Hi, for the choice of engines (12v or 24v), I suggest 24v to lower the currents in play, but much depends on the results of the set.
    I have 24v motors, but at the end I had to power them with 12v to decrease the speed it was approaching and make the simulator too nervous.... ;)
