    Ok so there are a lot of people that want to make a 2 dof seat with wipermotors.. me included, but nobody knows where to start...
    I have been looking around for at least a week now and when i think i found the way than i read something else that makes me wonder...
    Who will get me at least pointed in what could be the right direction for me and many others....
    I understand there are several options...:
    1) I build the AVR motioncontroller and H-bridge from TRONICGR. Will take some time to built though.

    2) Velleman 8055 with something else but that does not work as good as the tronicgr solution? too slow because of relais?

    3) Polulu jrk 12v12, one for each motor, connection by USB and directly connectable to motors and computer. Sounds like the fastest and easiest way to go...

    BUT what is the best solution, what are the pros and cons of the different systems?
    What would be the layout of the different systems? This is a great forum but for the newbies like me there should be some standardisation

    Who will enlighten us, this is my first post...

    what ya need to know, most of us poured through the forum to find all the little bits we needed, takes a couple of months reading between all the crap.
    Info is still being written by a few i think, i have had mine on hold because of buying a house, life gets in the way and its not a paid job, we do it because we love the software so much. Look mate always on msn, check my emails daily , so fire away lets see if we can get ya started on the right foot.
