Hi all, just stumble into x-Sim site by accident very cool stuff.
I'm newbie with minimal electronic experience,since I have seen DERIY-(SATO)'s wiper motor sim, I want to build one.

2dof-wiper-motor-car-simulator-by-deriy-sato-t2405.html#p23635

I am learning Arduino at the moment and have seen jamesdio's "2DOF Arduino miniature motion platform w 2-servos" video but with little info, can I ask jamesdio the list of parts and if arduino was used instead of "AVR Motion Controller (AMC) by Tronicgr" as a controller and then using "Tronic's DIY dual Mosfet H-bridge (DSMhb)" to connect to the wipermotors.
sorry for the dumb question if asked previously.

If you have minimal electronic experience like I do, then use these http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1393 , one per motor.

well gorch not questions are dumb mate, ask away.
Ard code is not ready yet theres a couple of us trying to put one together, i have the ard working my diy guages but havent properly moved on to the motor driver, look at the monster motor driver from sparkfun will supply a steady 20amps odd at 12v for two motors, and if ya know ard then should be easy to put together, i do have a basic code for above but wont release until i have tested it personlly by theory and dummy run, it works just awaiting shield, ordered should arrive by the end of the week.
Bsft suggestions a good one jrks are very easy to setup and get running plus dont underestimate their power because of their size.

Welcome time to start ya own post mate.

Thanks all of you guys,
can't wait till you release the arduino sketch when you are ready, but curious how you connect the arduino to the PC so it recognised the effects/force feedback.

"Pololu Jrk Motor Controllers with Feedback" is a bit expensive and its more fun making your own via "Dual Mosfet H-Bridge by TronicGr"

Also jamesdio's arduino setup is very interesting:

good luck on h bridge more likely a hair ripper outer.
Done what james did a while ago easy but getting it to the next step is a big one.
Just like the jrk hooks up via usb and talk to it via uso, easy.

I found way how to debug arduino code , there is a program called Eterlogic - VSPE virtual serial port emulator and it allows me to use same port in two app, i just make one virtual port COM1 and connect it to COM4 where is my arduino , use that virtual COM4 in arduino programming console and in x-sim and it works

Pozdrav! Drago mi je da nas ima jos iz Srbije

this how i debugged my dashboard, only thought the ard uses values of 1-127 ????

hello somebody could put a diagram of the servos to the arduino?? and how to configure the x-sim3 with arduino? thank you

Hello people.
I tried to do jamesdio published. code upload it successfully in arduino "UNO."
use the profiles published by jamesdio.
my arduino board receiving. So check it to see the LED light data.
but do not move the servo.
only made ​​some erratic movement to change the configuration parameters in the "USO"
could be the error in the configuration of my x-sim?
please help to set the x-sim
