    Hi its my first time posting and as the title says I am a noob, unless you count the years of vodeps my adhd hyperfocus has led me down on the motion sim path.
    I always find myself on ebay looking for random stuff for adhd ideas I get and have recently purchased 2 x 7712z 200w motors, 2 x 12v12 poloulo boards an adduino uno and a sensor shield v5
    The motors have 6127V1A180LS" rotary position sensors attached.

    I wonder if it would be possible to get one of the really cool wiring diagrams that I keep.seeing on people's posts.

    Or if someone could give me a hand figuring it all out, I would love to play with some movement in the old Sega arcade games.

    Any help and advice greatly appreciated, it may take me a while but I will figure it out.

    Thanks Shane
