    Hi guys!

    Since the JRK`s are too expensive for my 3DOF drift mod, I've been looking around for an alternative. After some search and advice from Robbie (Thanks mate), I opted for an Arduino Mega with a Pololu Dual Motor shield plus a single shield.

    Dual shield: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2502
    Single shield: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1451

    Like that way: Schema.PNG

    I'll keep the updates here a bit short because I do not want to write everything twice. :sos:
    If bigger jumps happen, I'll also post it here.
    Here i will update shortly: http://simracing-austria.blogspot.co.at/p/3dof.html
    I hope you can understand that.

    seeya ...

    Yep, understand no worries.
    Good idea about using ard and bridges to reduce cost.
    Go hard buddy! 8)

    Hello,
    what i have...

    2 x arduino uno r3
    3 x Monster Moto Shield (up to 16v, 30a)
    1 x power Supply 12v, 575w, 47A


    The voltage-range of motors is 5-24v up to 16nm by 16a (Datasheet).

    -work this configuration for me ?
    -need i more componets ... 10k poti etc.. ?

    Thanks for your answers.

    Hi Dahfl!

    That's a good start:
    - 2 Motomonster are enough for 3 DOF
    - yes, you need 3 pots
    What kind of 3 DOF do you intent to built?

    Have a look on my tutorial ;-)

    Hi Mat,
    i "dance" on more weddings :)
    i have a Boeing 737ng simulator (fs9/fsx) without motion, plan a A10-C Warthog (dcs) with 6dof and a small 2 or 3dof Racingsim for rfactor2.

    I build a small 6dof with miniservos and arduino and this worked fine. now i will try a little bigger.
    First is the (i think 3dof) racesim.
