    Hello everyone ! I hope you're having an excellent day.
    So, instead if working on a 3DOF flight simulator I decided to start with a miniature motion platform in order to understand how it works before starting the project..
    The miniature is much more simple and practical.. However, I was hoping to get more information about the control part. Is it possible to use the same wiring (Arduino+MonsterMoto) and arduino code (SMC3) ?
    I will be using small servos btw, and simtools of course.
    Thanks a lot !

    I just made a mini platform to test simtools with mini 9g servos. You wont need the MonstorMoto for the servos as they can be powered and controlled via PWM directly from the arduino itself. Depending on the size of the servo you might need to add external 5v power, but if they are little 9g servos you should be okay just using USB power.

    Thanks a Million Kenza!
    You are the only person that provide complete and correct working directions here.
    Most of the other threads have either pre-history and incorrect directions, or for the most part people providing bits of information, so you have to guess the rest.
    Thanks again for taking the time sharing it, and I hope I come across with more people like you in the forum!

    Cheers!
