    Hello all.
    Just wanted to introduce myself.

    i have a home built simulator and use Iracing.
    it's time to step it up a bit now while mark 2 is in the early stages.

    i am looking to run a 3 Dof system with DC motors.
    using Auduino board with Monster Motors control boards.

    there is a lot to learn but happy to just plug away and make a little progress every couple of weeks.

    the interium upgrade is to a VR hedset and a really powerful Graphics card.

    Another fellow Aussie joins the motion sim fold! There are plenty of us here, I am across the puddle in Tassie.

    You will find the FAQ section covers many detailed build related topics: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    We have a glossary for all those pesky acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    Feel free to ask questions, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Good luck with your 3DOF project.
