    Hi there

    Im wondering about mounting all the ardunios/drivers and other electronics to my rig but im not 100% sure how it will cope with all the vibration's from my SFX 100 and Buttkickers in the long run. Anyone that has experience with this? Perhaps some rubber damping on the mounting table?

    I'd love to hear your experience with it!

    I have three buttkickers, five arduinos, my DD controller installed on my 4dof platform for almost 2 years and I never had any problems.

    @EduardoMoreira are you using jumper or did you solder your wires?
    would you mind sharing a picture of your electronic?

    I use jumpers on arduinos and connectors on blowers and vibration motors.

    I have placed all my electronic on a foam pad with velcro for additional damping and I always hot glue the pins on the ardunio. I also use clip on connectors in between the pots for easy disassembly
