    Hi all !

    I read you for a long time and I decide to register ont the forum to present my project (or my idea) and t ask you some questions.

    First of all, I will present myself : I'm a french 22 years old man, who love car simulator. I live near Paris where i work as embedded software engineer . I've made a static cockpit last year and I want now to switch to a motion simulator. My favorite simulator is rFactor :D

    You can see on the picture bellow my static simulator :

    My idea is taking the seat and buy a new G25 to build a motion simulator with alu profile and wiper motor, with Tronicgr cards. I found a place where I can made make the card for ~50€. I think it's preaty cheap.

    Now I have two questions : I want to use wiper motors which need lot of current. I'd like to know which supply power I have to use. I found PC supply with high output current for each 12v line (20A) but I don't know if this king of supply can be good for 2 wiper motor (see http://www.xigmatek.com/product/power-nrppc502_jp.php for more details). This supply cost ~60€. What do you think about ? My problem is that the supply must be available in France.

    The second question is about wiper motor. Do you know a good candidate for a motion simulator ? I've red that someone use Renault Clio wiper. Are they good ?

    Thanks a lot for your answers and sorry for my bad english ;)

    The AMR and H bridge cards are now mounted and work perfectly.

    I have just a problem which is that I have to configure the serial port at 38400 bauds insteed of 115200 bauds.

    I can now control the led of the H bridge through X-sim.

    I'm very happy and I can now think about the cockpit architecture.

    Thanks Tonicgr for all your work ;)
