    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF
    I have started my 2dof project based on the one found at this link (the thread is in italian, but there are a lot of pics).
    This is my first experience with these things and it's from the beginning that many users have recommended me this forum, so there I am :cheers(sorry for my bad english)

    I'm using:
    • 2x Pololu JRK 12v12 motor controller
    • 2x left gear motors like this
    • 2x 10k potentiometers
    • 2x power supply 12V 30A
    • 1 cardanic joint, iron (40x40mm) and enough welds
    In this pic the connections made

    In this video, to move the left engine I followed the guide written by @bsft here

    All right until I realized that the seat was too far ahead, but no problem for this (however, an help on how far back the seat won't be denied).
    The problem for me is the right engine: from off, when it's loaded with the weight of a person, it moves.
    The first time it was loaded, I immediately pushed against the movement and realized that the engine moves in both direction:thumbs:mad::mad::(
    Can someone help me?:sos
    Will I have to change engines?
