    hope that the motors arrive soon :)
    Please let us know, if the motors are good ones that fit for your frame.

    I got 4 power supplies from a friend.
    One of them should suffice per engine. DSC_3824.JPG

    Great, I am also looking for suitable PSU.
    Am I right, that each of your power supply has two 12V outputs and you put them "together" (2 cable in 1).
    May I ask why ?

    I think that it can not hurt. And if a solder joint is not clean or should come loose, I still have a working connection.
    I'm also not sure if the rails might be split. In 30 and 30 A. Should it be so, then I would have no problem there.

    But that's just a guess of mine. Of course, I can also be completely wrong.

    But as I said, I do not think it can hurt ..... :)

    There are certainly in the forum but people who really know it! :)

    Hi Papapetrus,
    can you let us know, which hall sensors you are using ?
    Thanks. Arazok

    a lot has happened since my last post.

    the engines have arrived in the meantime

    but I actually changed my entire project.

    I built a motionplatform, but I was not satisfied with the stability. In addition, the entry was a bit too high for me.

    I also had problems with the electronic. that might have been due to a broken monster moto.

    I have then rebuilt everything in my vacation on a Seatmover. With that I am very satisfied except for a few small things.

    I have reduced my project a little and also built the electronics directly into the seatmover.

    The entry was a bit too high and too little stable for me, but it was also annoying when the platform sank down.

    Stupidly, one gear holds better than the other though both are translated 50: 1
