    Hello comrades, of suffering.
    Considering that I'm new to the forum, actually not really new, because I've been following you for a few months, I still decided to register and start a project for myself and my need for "racing".
    However, let's take it slowly, my little project is still in the design phase, I'm waiting for my brother to come with the wooden structure, I decided to start with the wooden structure because it's much easier to modify where necessary.
    I will use like the rest here, the basic programming on Arduino, 2 DC 12v motors (I'm looking for something like a car wiper to start), so it is already understood that it will be a 2DOF.
    My plan is to eventually get a 4DOF with 24v DC motors, but until I'm sure, I'll stick with 2.
    I'm looking forward to opinions and advice, now I'm only attaching the 3D sketch made in Fusion360, and as an "inspiration" so to speak, I chose to use the design of a colleague on the forum because I liked its simplicity.
    Greetings, brothers of madness

    Hello guys, so I found 2 Vw Passat Bosch 12v wiper motors, and I just wondered if I could get rid of all the electronic inside and just strap 2 wires at the brush and take it out!
    The marked pin is the grind with the case, I’ve nit tested ier if it goes ground when I measured it! E31C07E3-52A1-440A-A89E-F6940E8D2EF6.jpeg B40374AA-B9C6-40F7-BFD0-EFCF677AC8EB.jpeg 2834DB8D-269F-42C8-9CB1-A7D6EA0850FA.jpeg

    I could not edit in the last post, I tested the motors and is all good, is wired at ground and no nedeed to do it

    So, come back with an update!
    I’ve just solder 2 wire directly on the brush and when I power the engine is working in steps

    Because I’m sleepless, i continued with the main brain, just did an adaptation directly for the Uno, attached the drivers directly on Board to minimizez the noise between the data transmisions. Added a few extra pinout just in case
    Whait for a response for the motor workings also!

    Great to hear you are making progress :thumbs

    Just be aware the MMs need heat sinks and cooling fan, or they will likely overheat and die under load.

    Yep, I’m aware of this. I have in mind to build an Aluminium case and put some fans inside am cool the things out

    OK, it seems I have a problem with smc3 utils, if the program start and work, canot move the motor, if I reset the arduino the motor is runing but is not stopping at all, and the last scenario when I star the utils software is just keep crashing, is not responding

    Aaand I also have a situation with my motors, i connect them directly to the power source and they run like this!!
    I powered them with an 19v 3.42A power supply

    Here is a link to the video, I could not embeded it

    Hello all,

    update to my little project, i found a seat, mounted amd test the position, and almost finished the frame for the shifter, i had to search for a pivot and order the electrical parts
