    Good day Llewelyn, excuse my ignorance on electronics, I want to build a simulator with three-phase motors and I would like to know if this circuit has evolved or if something else is used to drive the motors, on the other hand, I understood that it is used with the SMC3 in mode 1 (monster motor shield), is that right? Thank you very much because your advice and data are invaluable.

    This method of acuation was redundant from the start. Not to mention it didn't even work to begin with. The VFD threads are all dead ends.

    Take it from someone whose had a control panel to 3 dead motors on a giant frame in the garage for the past 4 years. Bite the bullet and invest in servos or whatever they are called or better yet buy an already built one.
