    Hi to all guys
    im ready to order all my staff ..please if someone could chek if all is right for start the war ahhaha
    1 - elettrocookie uno
    3 Sensore, Hall, 0,2 V, 20 V a -10 V, PIN,
    3 HiLetgo BTS7960 43A Dual H-Bridge Stepper Motor Drive Curr
    2 24V 25A 600W 110/220VAC-DC24V Adattatore Trasformato
    1 arduino rev 3
    2 pc fan
    1 box for electric wire
    3 motor i decide to take from au is just difficult project for me i f i complicate more changing something from the step by step video im sure something 'll go bad so... ttp://www.motiondynamics.com.au/worm-drive-motor-12v-24v-200w-180-rpm-20nm-torque.html
    , they sell them in 12 or 24 volt wich one i've to buy ?? 12 0r 24 ?
    also they can put a shaft inside so i dont have to make modification in the hole motor like max and they say: (Please note that the shaft we supply is not a TIGHT fit. There is approximately a 0.3mm tolerance between the internal tube and the shaft.
    If you want the shaft to be a little extra snug, you need it to be ~12.3mm!) best choice for the project ?
    thank you very much and sorry for the begginners questions

    I suspect shipping on the Motion Dynamics motors would be very expensive, locally sourced new or used wheelchair motors may be a cost effective alternative.

    Hello, the motors seem to be fine, the sensors use 0-5v, I also buy in China, I am from Spain, for me the cheapest option is AliExpress, I will post a photo with the material that has worked well for me

    The ratio depends on the specific design, but as a rule of thumb 25:1 for a shoulder mount seat shaker and 50:1 for full frame or compact designs. I use 60:1 on my compact 3DOF.

    SimCalc can help you get your head around the tradeoffs in design Vs physics: https://xsimulator.net/community/faq/simcalc-calculate-linear-speed-and-forces-of-your-design.270/

    I think you mean @Halloween2go's build.

    If you are not sure then 50:1 is the safer choice.

    If you are using the likes of SMC3 code for the Arduino it will be Serial.

    From your earlier post that would be the Arduino controlling the IBT2s you linked to:

    A profile must be made for each game, and each game has to have the plugin installed and the game patched for motion.

    LFS is the game used for testing, it is up to you if you choose to install and configure a profile for it.
