    Matthew here,

    I have been working on my sim for a couple years now, but never got around to actually posting anything. Decided I should probably stop being a leech and actually participate in the community haha. My build is a 2DOF wiper motor/arduino/motomonster seat and I have it partially functioning at this point. So close! I am able to get the chair to move with Dirt 3, though there seems to be problems with severe lagging response of the seat. sometimes it will react in sync with the game, other times it will have a several second lag, other times it will not respond at all...So far I have a few ideas on this.

    -I am using a DC Stanley jumper battery as a power source. Not sure if this can cause issues with current
    -I have been using alligator clips, which may not be suitable for the currents I am running. I had one of them fail on me.
    -Maybe my computer isnt fast enough? not sure if this is a factor.
    -I am only running through one motomonster, perhaps I need one for each motor?

    if anybody has experienced these issues, your experience would be invaluable! unnamed.png

    Can you please tell us what Arduino code you are running and post quality pictures of all settings.

    A video would also help members give advice.

    Thanks! When I connect everything back together I will post the code and videos. I am just using the code from racingmat's wiper playseat tutorial
