Hello all,
this is my first project simulator. In total there are many helpful projects that will certainly help me in the construction .
I am open to all suggestions .

At the beginning I have:
Arduino Uno R3
Moto Monster
2x potencjomert 10kOhm
2x wiper motors

I miss the power supply yet , but I'll buy 12v30A .
Photos I will keep adding .
I'm counting on your help.

Regards

With power supplies it is generally good to have some pretty powerful units and for best results use one per motor, particularly if you may plan to upgrade from wipers at some stage in the future.

A couple of popular options are cheap LED 12v 500 watt power supplies from Ebay or modifying server PSUs, which is simple to do and results in very cheap but powerful PSUs: http://www.xsimulator.net/community...ver-power-supplies-as-cheap-powerful-psus.54/

Use a universal joint rather than a constant velocity joint, as the CV joint can allow unwanted lateral twist.

Also place the universal joint as close to the seat as possible: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/universal-joint-placement.108/

I used a CV, But as Noorbeast said, it does have a minimal amount of twist to it. IMO not drastic enough to really effect anything, But I would suggest you hit up the wreck yard and source a Proper joint from a Driveshaft, Overkill yes, But the last thing u want is a Sloppy U joint after a couple months of use.

these will tell you how to wire it if you choose to use one. i use the smc3 with only two motors, there are many options though.

hi @lukas12 nice seeing you are gathering things for your build.
what kind of sim do you have in mind to built a full frame or a seat mover?

Hello,

Slowly I submit the simulator .
I made a small model , I have a problem , I made the settings, turn on simulations and mouse move some strip the engine running .
How to Run the game it's not happening , I set as on http://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-quickstart/

Where is problem?

You need to give a bit more information, like posting screenshots of all of your settings.
