    Welding went fine, We will see about the electronics. Made the total length adjustable to make it fit also my nine year old son.

    Hooked up the Arduino with the motomonster but I was hoping to get the DIY key for Simtools to get the electronics running...?

    To qualify for a free license:

    • You must be building a true DIY motion simulator. (Not built from a kit or purchased from a simulator seller, a model simulator does not qualify.)
    • Have a unique build thread or Showcase in DIY Simulator Projects. (The thread should show some effort, which means it should show progress to the testing phase.)
    • Have been a member of the community for at least 30 days.
    One post with three sentences and three photos on a thread would not be enough effort with respect to point two. You need to update this thread a bit more, I even prompted you to do so: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/diy-2dof-with-worm-drives.10933/#post-142283

    Have you got the electronics sorted and tested with the included LFS plugin?
