    Welcome @MSG.

    Doing some research before getting in too deep is time well spent.

    Please bounce your plans and shopping list off members before jumping too far down what can be an expensive rabbit hole, if you get it wrong.

    Use the Search on the Recent page to find similar projects as to what you have in mind.

    You will also find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs, including code and instructions for using Arduino with a range of controllers: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here and detail your project, so members can give support and advice where possible: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    I had a second hand older PT Actuator motion rig a few years back, but sold it when I started a new job and moved... Wish I kept everything but the PT Actuator part LOL.
    I had Simucube, a couple very nice Australian made wheels (two different brands), nice H shifter (can't remember the brand, but was miles better than Fanatec H shifter!), Jinx quickshifter, Heusinkveld Sprints, wind, etc)

    P.S I had an account here (same name and email address I just used to sign up xD), but it may have been deleted due to inactivity of a few years idk :confused:
