    i am not sure as i have never used this code but i think you are setting your interface wrong and must be like R<Axis1a>L<Axis2a> but as i said before have not used this code and i am not sure if this is the problem

    Hi, @insanegr ! I've tried those Interface settings too but no luck...
    Do you use a Arduino Uno and if so can I try your code?

    Still searching for some motors and found some but I'm a little confused.
    Can someone help me with the right decision?
    When ordering I have to some pulldown menu's:
    Power, Voltage and Speed.. For power 300W?, Voltage 12V?, but then ?? Speed in rpm 10,20,30,50,100,200,300,400 and 600. Can somebody please help @yobuddy or @noorbeast maybe?

    Did you run the design and motor specs through SimCalc, as suggested?

    The engines that I have now have too little power. But when I look at the table, I really do not know which one to buy.

    If you don't mind using second hand gear, what about wheelchair motors? I did not check for the Netherlands, but at least in Germany you find them on ebay:
    https://www.ebay.de/itm/Rollstuhl-A...rentrq:cdfd464b1660ab45564916b1ffff7410|iid:1

    I also have a really heavy wooden rig (the moving part has a weight of more than 40kg), and the wheelchair motors don't seem to have any problem with this load.
    And since they are about half the price as the motors in your link, you can spend the saved money for replacing your Monster Moto controller with a Sabertooth. :)

    These 24V engines are certainly interesting. Could I also connect this to my MM without having to change it for a Sabertooth?
    My power supply is 1x HP ATSN-7001044-y000 Rev: M (12V-69.5A + -) and not 24V.

    p.s No wheelchair engines to be found in the Netherlands
    Cheers,
    Bryan
