    Hello all. I'm new here, and new to motion sims. I have been gathering components for a year or so, and now have a 2 DOF frame built, ready for electronics. A year ago, when just getting started on this project, I bought some of the 12v crab pot motors from ebay. At that time, I planned to use IBT2's and an arduino, but recently saw that the @Thanos AMC controller was no longer backordered, so I ordered one, and have now received it. And I need advice.

    Is there any info available on using a @Thanos AMC controller with crab pot motors? The only manual I can find on the Thanos site is about using the AMC controller with linear actuators.

    Am I going down the wrong path here? Any info would be useful. Links to videos, wiring diagrams, pics, any thoughts or guidance from anyone that has done this?

    I've tried searching, but so far haven't found info on this. Maybe I just don't know where to look. I guess I'm hoping for a how-to guide, but any info or thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Yes, that is it. Thanks! I'll see what I can find there.

    The AMC-AASD15A servo controller is for use with AASD15A servo drives.
