    My Motion Simulator:
    3DOF, DC motor, Arduino, Motion platform
    So guys.. I have a whole channel showing both my 3DOF motion rig using the crab pot motors on 12V - also a 2DOF seatmover using small windshield wiper motors.. All of these are on SimTools using the arduino and the IBT-2 motor controllers.. But I decided to upgrade the 2DOF seatmover with BIGGER MOTORS.. yeah these are the easily available 24volt JAZZY wheelchair motors.. I got a 110AC to 24 volt DC inverter (it works - so far) and tested the two 24VDC Jazzy wheelchair motors running at about 2.5 amps.. I posted a video on it on the You Tube channel.. But if you have any advice? Take a look.. I know I need to run my active cooling at 12v. so I will get that done. But.. any serious advice would be helpful.. I am going to work on it on Feb 5th so hopefully get some progress and take your valued advice.. Thanks in advance.. Halloween2go / DMAX motion sim on YT
