    Hi at all
    These days i'm having a problems with wiper motors initialization. I'had just try to test them and all goes fine. Now i've mount them on cockpit and i've to load a RacingMat code by the Arduino environment. When i switch on the system, the motors moves randomly without get a middle position. Any suggestion about this problem?

    I've a arduino and monster moto into a empty case of old PSU. This evening i've measure with tester if there are a shorts ground... infact there is a short ground between 5V pin and PSU case and GND pin of Arduino with psu case. Is itpossibile that the stranges movements of wipers are linked to this?
