    Hello the community, I will start the work for a 7 DOFG. But my problem and know if there is a DOF 7 code for the Arduino. I need help from you, or if you have a solution to my problem. I will use 7 wiper engine. A big thank you to you for your help. Sincerely.

    Other than for RC servos there is no code that I am aware of where one Arduino handiling 7 motors.

    But you can use multiple Arduinos running the likes of SMC3 to control such a rig, which is the normal way to do so.

    1. 7 DOF does not exist, you will not control a platform with more than 6 engines simply so are written programs like Simtools, FlyPtmover
    2. You write that you have 7 motors from windshield wipers, unfortunately they are too weak for a 6DOF platform, give their parameters ie: supply voltage and power consumption eg: 12Vx10A=120W, you need 200-250W per motor to build something sensible.

    Merci pour l'information. Si vous pouviez m'expliquer comment réaliser ce projet, me dire quels matériaux acheter et un plan de montage avec halim et moteur d'essuie-glaces, ainsi que la puissance nécessaire, merci beaucoup. Le problème, c'est que je voulais acheter les cylindres en bois Racing, mais je suis à La Réunion et que les faire venir revient trop cher.
