    ..want only say THX for your build and the very good description it makes the world much easier for a newcomer to learn the first steps walking.
    See ya

    Cheers

    Hi all, I saw this wiring and have a problem, I think pin A0,A1 on Arduino board are connect with pots for feedback position of 2 motor but in this picture (RacingMat's wiring), him connect them to A0,A1 of monster board, and I don't understand the function of pin A2, A3 here. Who know, Please hepl me. Thank you.

    int cspin[2] = {2, 3}; // CS: Current sense ANALOG input
    int enpin[2] = {0, 1}; // EN: Status of switches output (Analog pin)
    I saw, but I don't really understand. do you know why A0,A1 on arduino board connect to A0,A1 pin on monster board ?

    Hello everyone, I'm starting to make 2dof simulator and now I'm at the stage of buying motors. Is this a good choice of motors?
    SWF VALEO NIDEC ITT 401.821 wiper motor, windscreen wiper motor, gear motor 24V DC, for MAN, NEOPLAN, type SWMG

    Thank you in advance

    @mimakez please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Post your questions there, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    What you need to do first is post a brief description and preferably a picture of what you would like to build, as the design of a 2DOF can vary significantly and what motors best suit depends on what you have in mind to build.

    this is another reference than VALEO NIDEC ITT 404.458
    Several years ago, the 404.458 were cheap 35€ but their price increased and now they are discontinued...

    Could you please tell us what is the price?
    do you a have an URL to share?

    I do not have enough posts to be able to put a link, the price is 258euro but I found used for 40euro each. Can I use Monster Moto Shield VNH2SP30 stepper motor driver module for high current 30A Arduino for this motors or I have to look for some of the 12v motors?

    Hello. I used a plate with logic circuit with the 74HC08 Thanos . I made a pcb and connected between the ard and h bridge.

    follows electric scheme

    sorry my english (google translator)

    Hello @mimakez!

    Glad to hear these good news! :)
    congrats!

    Setup is up to you: so if your motors don't get too hot, it should be fine!

    About the 10ms, sometimes the better is the worst (kind of traffic jam!)
    but if you experiment it fine, go for it!!

    Thanks to the quick response, my motors are cold as ice :), after 1 hour of gameplay to be slightly warm.
