    Got my self a real racingseat, so the old school (bus)seat has got to go :rolleyes:
    The new seat fits perfectly and gives you more of a feeling driving a racecar.

    Well, yeh, that would be the case now lol....i noticed the seat is far back on the pivot and he is also using belts...meaning a lot of weight towards the rear....no pun....up to him, just my observation

    A minor upgrade:
    Made a simple robust solution to connect the pot to the axle of the motor by using a aluminum parts (see photo)
    made by a friend of mine, with screw-thread on one site and 5 mm hole (for the pot axle) on the other site.
    Works great!:thumbs

    IMO not very long life made - the axle is bowed, isn't it?

    Your right, i've shorten the aluminum bushes so the pot axles fit (without the steep angle) so they last longer :).

    My ongoing quest for a digital dashboard i stumbled on "simracing-tools.de", this guy has build a amazing pice of software and its free!
    I've got some old android phones that i can use as a digital dash, works great, no soldering required. :grin:D

    Hello everyone.
    I have three same IBT 2 H Bridges.
    I forum sought after as much as possible but could not find a complete drawing for three of the adapters with Aduino. I also read here about no mass together.
    I have tried to draw a picture. Will someone check if this can work. Or anywhere that needs to be restated.

    I am just posting this in the hope that members with Arduino experience such as @Pit, @RacingMat, @BlazinH or @RufusDufus could perhaps help out and review the wiring for you.

    The new seat is definitely nicer then the bus seat. Your rig is improving all the time and im sure you will continue to make improvements as time goes on. Nice job.

    ======================
    Hi grooste_lwd (hoe gaat het? (dutch:))
    I've checked the wiring, and its looks ok to me. i would connect the ground pins 8 from the IBT's with the ground pin of the Arduino (i tested both, but preferred the all grounded solution). i had some troubles with the IBT's but could always solve it :grin. Works fine for me (working flawless for more than a year now, even don't need a cooling fan.)

    Hello Dedas, Thanks for your response. I've already started to build. I'm going to build everything in one box with plugs on it. Ben now plugs on the search that meet my will. I want the potentiometers, power supply, and can connect motors with connectors because they then become universal cabinet, where everything can be easily and simply adjusted. Photo I have to make a little longer.
