    Hello, my name is Vitali I am a trained refrigeration system builder my passion is motor racing, I'm new here because I wrote very little and had other nicknames. So back then I built the first sim with a circuit board that you should solder yourself with wich motors then at some point built a simulator with andruino for my son but not quite finished, need other motors and have to convert that. I like racing cars back then I played NFS the first until it doesn't work :) and so far I like racing cars. But now I want to build a 4dof simulator I have had the parts lying around for a long time but haven't found the time for them.
    At this point I started with all electronics and found that I needed an AMC controller because without it I cannot (use) Simtool. I want to use 4 channel MDBOX driver. If anyone can help me where can I find something or how can I build something like this, I am very grateful for the help.
    Sorry for my english :)

    Sorry, I stopped production on AMC-MDBOX and AMC-NANO a year ago... effectively there is not much support from Syntron about MDBOX, and they often burn IGBTs...

    Why not using AASD-15A servos instead and use the AMC-AASD15A controller instead? The AASD-15A servos are way more durable and accurate than MDBOX anyway, never burn!

    Hi, men, if one has something like that lying around and doesn't need it, I would like to buy it?
    I've got everything there, now it's not worth buying other components because it will cost a lot of money.
    Or I have to see how you can do it differently so that it works again with MDbox.
    Are there any other AMCs that I can use?

    Hi. I have a nano on an mdbox too. What's is an igbt?

    My nano has stopped talking to simtools. Is there a way to debug it out a user manual for it?
