    Wiper motors are not very powerful, so need a good deal of inherent design leverage, and ground isolation: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/wiper-motor-mandatory-ground-isolation.25/

    If you can stretch the budget a bit then something like the specs of these motors will allow greater performance and a wider range of design choices: https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEAR-MOTOR...L-FEED-SIMULATOR-75-80RPM-50-1-/371596157992?

    There are multiple code and driver choices for an Arduino: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino-code-for-use-with-various-hardware-and-simtools.31/

    But I would suggest you try one of the SMC3 code with associated driver hardware, as it has a configuration app that makes setting up and adjustments much easier.

    Please be aware that genuine MMs are no longer produced, what you see advertised are cheap clones and they often have quality control issues: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/monster-moto-testing-before-use.158/

    That motor is available with different wormdrives, so use SimCalc to compare them with your chosen design, using the motor specs provided.
