    Hi everyone, I am a novice ,I don't have too much knowledge of the circuit and the motor, so is there anyone can give me some advice ?
    For my poor english I don't quite understand most of the articles, so I decide to ask the questions by myself.:(
    I find kinds of motors in the market,but I don't know which motor can be used on 2DOF simulation,I will list them out in the following,please give me some advice.
    1,Dc 12V gear motor
    Voltage：DC12V
    Rated current:18A
    No-load speed：190r/min
    Load speed：150r/min
    Output torque：50kg.cm

    2, Wiper motor
    Voltage：12V
    Power:50W
    here is the wiper motor picture[​IMG]

    are they can connect to the motomonster?:sos:sos
    other wiper motor on the market is 30W power, is that too weak?

    wiper will do it, but earth isolate the case or risk nuking your boards
    larger motor is overall better

    You said 12v but it says 24v on it

    from the info you have given, yes much better, faster and more powerful.
    That sort of motor is what most of us use.
