    hello
    i am a newbie in the field of arduino and the endless capability of this platform. i have a huge knowledge of cnc machines, drivers and steppers
    Can someone give me a hand on the following project please :)
    I am trying to built a car simulator chair but in reverse engineering if i may call it .
    My project is about re-creating the motion of a rally car and play it again on the simulator chair .
    therefore i need to look for video target de-criptor, and a software to read the motion of the car and finally to run it on an arduino uno or mega
    i know its not for newbie's but i am willing to put all my effort to achieve this project.
    Can someone give me advice or help me out on this project ?
    Or did someone already built this project so i can check it out ?
    this is what i am trying to do with the project ( )
    Thank you in advance

    Hi @Hady , Is there a reason why you want to run the simulation from a video?

    hello Seat Time
    Thank you for replaying
    i am working on a project that should decript an image from a rally car movie and translate it to the simulation chair .
    or i can bypass this step by simulating the car movement with a remote control unit ( RC Plane ) remote control while saving the data and replay it later on the chair driving simulator

    Yes, I know what you want to do, but why, as it is not an ideal/simple way to build a DIY sim? I see English is not your first language, hate to be blunt, but is this a commercial or DIY project?

    i have a factory , i am into display stand, digital printing and signage industry ,
    A client of mine asked me if i can deliver this project ,
    so i took it as a challenge .
    For now the exhibition has already started and i didn't deliver but its still a challenge i want to execute.
