    Just grabed this setup for a really good price.
    Things are getting out of control :grin :sos

    wow thats a great setup.
    so one of your homework been solved right (doesn't need to build a DIY wheel)
    can't wait to see your final setup, and how the motor perform.
    good luck!

    Thank you.
    Yes you're right. And with all the wheel buttons, knobs and fast integration in the games, it's worth it.
    But I'm still gathering resources for a diy leonardo ffb later as a new challenge and based on the experience of g29.

    that's great, actually I build one too.. the pilot project using leonardo and now upgrade it to STM32.
    and I can tell, the big difference on the experience, feel, ffb, from a G29 to a wheel with belt driven mechanism and bigger/more power motor.
    but right now, enjoy what you have now.
    Cheers!

    Do you have any problems with the leonardo? What's the expected difference with stm32 ?

    nope, actually I dont upgrade because there's a problem with leo, I just upgrade to get a better and updated software from the developer.
    I use EMC pro software for my DIY wheel, and he stop the development for the leo board and continue on STM32.
    with STM32 you get a better FFB, more detailed, and more simple on wiring.

    Hello again
    After some testing, the motors started to be unreliable. And the traction loss motor was burned out.
    So I decided to upgrage to industrial dc motors, and keep it a 2 dof for no.

    I bought 2x 500w 24v motors with worm gearbox, during testing I burned 4 IBT-2 so far :sos
    And repaired my psu 4 times also.

    So now I have 2 options to go for:
    - wire 2 ibt-2 in parallel for each motor (hot some more spares)
    - buy new more powerful dc drivers shown in the post below

    People who tried the first option are satisfied with the results?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Anthony, nice build, I just wanted to ask if you could elaborate on this? I'm gathering parts for my rig but only have access to wiper motors for now, so I want to know what problems you faced when testing them. Was it low precision? Did they randomly shut off?

    Also, do you remember what SMC and SimTools settings you used? If the problem was because of the motors receiving too much power I'll have to plan in advance and redesign the frame before I commit to building it so that I can use low Pmax values.

    Greetings Sir!
    With parallel double ibt2, they still stall but didn't burn.
    When in motion testing in smc3, they suddenly stop and I should reload the program to make them work again
