    Hi all,

    I like cars and racing, obsessed with the engine noise and G shock.

    I found the simulation community around 2011 when i am in University, since then i visited the website for quite lots times. Around March this year, i decided to build a motion simulator for myself.

    The plan is to build a 2 DOF simulator using DC motor and Arduino. I started with the electrical part: a Arduino UNO, a small DC motor (for concept test before odering two powerful DC motors for the simulator), tow 12 V DC power units, some 10K potentiometers and cables.

    Before the updating, i would like to thank the creator and all contributors of this community.
