    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF, DC motor, Arduino
    All the wiring linked to arduino im refer to https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    Steps for my DIY.

    1. Setup motor and potentiometer

    8. run LFS before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    9. Patch setting to LSF

    10. Run again LFS, now the motor should follow the motion

    Wiper motors vary somewhat in design, but often ground is via the brush to the body of the motor, that is what needs to be isolated and earthed via the wiring not via the structure.
