    Hello
    Anyone tried to run a wind sim using ibt-2 bts7960 ?
    I Have a couple of board after frying a couple of others :grin

    Moto monster seams to have many defective clone boards

    So I thought about the ibt-2 from the beginning

    I use IBT2 but at 12v, with it I move 2 20cm car radiator fans that I bought on Aliexpress, each one moves 1300CFM.
    I made the air ducts in 3D with honeycomb so that the air comes out straighter and more concentrated, I have a video but I don't see how to upload it to the forum.

    I am looking forward to seeing your wind sim setup in action.

    Videos are too large to upload directly, so use YouTube then insert the video into a post using the supplied tool, see the FAQs here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/insert-a-video-into-a-post.257/

    I have not measured it, it is what it says in the specifications, it says 1400cfm, it may be less but the amount of air is large, if you do not use a VR headset or glasses it bothers your eyes and you cannot keep them open completely.

    Can I get a copy of the Arduino code you are using? Also do you wire the IBT-2 to the Arduino the same way you would for a motion sim? If not can I get a wiring diagram, please?
