    Hello Sim builders

    I have been looking at building my own motion for a long long time and have some of the hardware ready. (K8055+Satbertooth). T    echnology moving very fast since. Does anyone here done Arduino+Satertooth with libraies from Dimension Engineering? Was it easy? Note I can't do any coding.

    K8055 is running fine under SimTools, tested myself with big worms and a Sabertooth 2x12.
    @RacingMat do you need a hand, I can share the calc I used in my app for running a Sabertooth a couple of tricks I have learnt over the years.

    Hi Mat
    I have been following your post and also found a French site having it setup with X-Sim. I can see the advantage to have digital signal over analogy plus better respond time for $20.

    This is going to be my 1st build. I think I will stick with K8055 and see what happen later.

    Thx both Mat and eaorabbie for the Simtool development.
