    good evening..
    I read in the faq's suggestion of using cards JRK ..
    being again I ask you, for a project with 2dof 24v engines what I could use as a motor driver ..
    I think that only jrk 12v ??
    thank you

    short reply : VNH5019 and Ard Uno if less than 100W motors are used or Sabertooth 2x32 and Ard Mega.

    VNH It means it is a card that is already assembled?

    I looked at the link, but I have to ask a question perhaps stupid ..
    I 24v motors, motor driver must be 24v, one for motor ..ok ..
    but I do not understand Arduino ..
    because cards are always 12v .. Arduino does not need 24v, too?
    excuse my ignorance but I can not understand this thing

    The Arduino is the controller and the VNH5019 the driver, you need both of them. The Arduino is powered by the USB cable (5V) and not by the psu.

    Thank you very much @Pit
    then..for my 2 motor 24v
    - n° 1 Arduino uno (now Arduino uno R3?)
    - n° 2 VNH5019 (each card one feeder?)
    ability to find connection scheme of Arduino and VNH5019?
    thanks again and big greetings

    12/24v
    30/50w
    64 giri al minuto (24v)
    coppia 15 Nm

    I hope it's enough
    this is the information that I have given

    IMO you should be fine with only one VNH5019 h-bridge for both motors. https://www.pololu.com/product/2507. You need (as already mentioned) an Ard like the Arduino Uno R3, either original or a Chinese clone which works in most cases without any issues. All Ard related information like codes and wiring you will find in the FAQ section. If you will struggle with the details we can help, but we do not help if users do not read and learn from what we tried to collect in the FAQ section ;) Good luck with your project.

    BTW these not really strong motors are only suggested for a seat mover or shaker but not for a motion platform.

    Thanks again
    Your help was crucial for me..In fact I was following faq to best achieve my project

    I did not get it well ..
    I can not create a platform with these engines?

    I wouldn't, nevertheless you can try it, even if you build a very well balanced motion platform do not expect a big "impact" while driving over curbs. The motors are simply too weak. You can implement additional springs or gas springs but IMO stronger motors are cheaper at least than all the tinkering.

    I thought you were better than classic wiper motors ..
    I'm disappointed for these engines!
    IMO engines what they are?

    why do you want to build a motion platform? What do you prefer, racing or flying?

    I wanted to build a platform MDF 19MM 120x90
    where I can then install a structure previously purchased (commercial)
    built for racing

    racing = seat mover = best relationship of immersion and cost.

    Can you upload a picture of your "commercial structure"? :)

    perfect..comprehensive answer;)
    We hope it works ..:(
    I already have "unfortunately" the commercial structure for 3 years:mad:, now that I know you wanted to do this project ..
