    2DOF, 3DOF, Arduino
    Hello guys,
    Maybe somebody will find this interesting.
    Actually i'm excited about that.
    I do not have good arduino programing skills. And i had question, or it is possible use stepper motor instead DC or AC motor in motion simulator. And ofcourse i had never ask you guys in forum. My bad. Probablly somebody of you already tried that, and now i did.

    And i had made some kind of close loop stepper control. :D .
    Almost zero programming skills. :)
    Equipment what i using is
    old good Velleman k8055 board, (https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/k8055-interface-v1-2-dof.105/ ) interface to control motor over simtool. Thanks for @eaorobbie@ .
    arduino nano as converter (I'm using "HCMotor-master" sketch, for speed and direction)
    potentiometer, any 10 kOm. or less or more...
    steper motor, NEMA 34 8Nm
    motor controler MA860H
    and PSU for stepper. 60V 350W

    Some drawing.

    I know this is a mess, but working, of course would perfect if somebody with good arduino programing skills will try to remove "Velleman" and put everything into arduino.
    If somebody will try, give me a feedback. really interesting what you thinking.
