    Hi Marcos

    Good Luck with your project. Which Arduino code you are using with? BTW your frame is expected to be very sluggish - the front part will twist due to the weight of it.

    Im willing to bet that you bend those threaded rods you have connecting to the mounts and the motors.

    i will see if the threaded rods need to be replace for another strong one.

    You could just weld the correct sized nut either end of some square tubing and run the exiting threaded rod through it and add a lock nut either end, that would be enough to reinforce it.

    Spot on,
    To make her look sexy , S/S Nut , S/S Washer - S/S 19mm-3/4" Curtain Rail (~2-3mm thick) and repeat washer and nut.
    Im a welder so I TIG weld the washers in place and polish all the weld off, Looks like im using a solid 19mm S/S bar but its hollow and not to heavy to take power away from the motors and super strong and SEXY.
    Ill post a pic but last set I made, mate stole them, well paid for them and I got my old square bars back on , not sexy at all.

    But same idea as @noorbeast but sexy polished look.

    did you decide which arduino code you will use to drive the monsters? I would suggest the SMC3 as it has a config utility.

    Try the SMC3 code, it's easier to get it working (configuration utility).
    http://www.xsimulator.net/community...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    If you want to stay with @RacingMat code (there is nothing wrong, the code works like a charm), then you should read the manual written by the Guru himself ;)

    OK, like Racingmat tutorial i start the machine on test. The motors turn on , when i turn the pot nothing hapen the motor dont stop or change velocity. I will change the pot for another and make test again

    i change the pots and the motors trun right and left and change velocity too but only one pot gives the order the other dont do nothink. they have to work alone but they are working togheter in the same way.

    After filtering out your issue (so far from what I understood) I think you should control the polarity of your pots (again)

    Check your arduino code and confirm the pot conections !
