    Hello, My Name is PyroBlaze13 and I Have Been Bit Hard by the Racing Sim Bug!
    I'm Super Excited to be part of this Community. I'm a Huge VR Gamer and Once I tried Racing in VR I Was Hooked.
    I am in early Stages of Building my first 2dof Motion Simulator and eventually a 3 dof.
    Thank You All for Helping make this a dream Come True by Passing on the Knowledge, Ideas and Passed experiences. Currently Using Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Dirt Rally 2.0, Project Cars
    I Have Been Reading And Getting So Much Inspiration from All of You. My Soul Is Greateful ;)
    This project has inspired me to start welding, learn more about schematics and get better at soldering. A plus Positive on all accounts to becoming a well rounded Ninja.

    Currently My Sim Consists of a Basic Frame , Two Bass Shakers (Front and Back) and VR. I Plan on Building a 2DOF for Now. Then Later adding a 3rd Motor for Traction Loss
    Materials I Have Aquired are 3 wiper motors for Testing purposes before my Main Motors Arrive but for Main Rig I will Use:
    (Qty- 2) GEAR MOTOR 12 VOLT GREAT FOR SAWMILL/CRAB POT PULL/FEED/SIMULATOR 75-80RPM 50:1
    Arduino Uno R3
    (Qty-2) IBT-2 BTS7960 43A
    Hall effect potentiometers 6127v1A180L.5FS
    CoolerMaster 12V 1000watt ATX PSU

    (1st pic)I have tried to create an environment for testing my current components as well as isolated the ground on these wiper motors. After checking everything with my multimeter to make sure ground was isolated I wired the arduino, ibt’s, Hall effect pots and managed to fire up smc utility tool. Unfortunately the pots needed better mounting. Will post back soon
    (2nd pic is of wiper motor ground isolation)

    well, My New Motors have Arrived. Here's a Pic of wiper motor size compared to new motors. I am Working on Tapping the hole so that I can Use a Coarse thread 5 inch bolt.
    the wiper motors are behaving strange with the SMC3 Utility software and I'm thinking of Ditching them since the new ones have arrived.
