    I'm making a 2Dof wiper motor sim for a school project. I'm just about to buy my motors and thought that I'd look into the software side of the project. I found both SimTools and srs. What I'm gathering is the main way to convert the sim data into something that the Arduino can read? Honestly, I don't feel like spending another $100 AUD on SimTools or SRS on top of building a whole sim for this project. However, from what I can gather, this is the main way to be able to make the sim work without extreme hassle, which I'm trying to avoid with time constraints. Mainly, I'm just wondering if this is the best option and if there are decent alternatives. I've bitten off more than I can chew for this project, so I'm just trying to wrap my head around what I need to get done before I have to hand it in. Any help or guidance is appreciated, thanks :)
