    Hi. My name is Jase and I'm from Australia. For a while now I've been folowing the progress of Thanos and his Joyrider as well as everyone else attempting to create their own version and have decided that's it my turn. Mine's a bit different though. I plan to construct a 2 player joyrider type sim consisting of 2 seperate cockpits. My main inspirations come from many nights having some beers with my mates and then going head-to-head at Daytona USA. To me, this is what racing is all about.
    :cheers:


    Any help or tips along the way would be appreciated.

    Began searching for parts for Thanos' AMC. With 2 major electronics suppliers close to my house, hopefully it wont be to hard to find what I need.

    I have access to both: ATMEGA 644-20PU & ATMEGA 8535-16PI

    Which of these is better to use?

    Why don't you just make 2 separate simulators?

    No one has tried these controllers yet, maybe it will be interesting to you:

    The price is similar to build the AMC+Hbridge, but you get it all done with a lot of features.

    Did you get anywhere with this?

    Is it even possible? Would be awesome to be able to race a mate...
