    Thanks for this tutorial. I've managed to build mine using 12v boat bilge blowers and they seem to react pretty fast. Thanks to @earobbie for creating the arduino code for me. Anyone got this working with pcars? In game dash, dash 1 I've entered :
    Round 0
    PAD 3 0

    but still can't get it working in game

    Hello, I can easily find Arduino Uno R3 and Sparkfun Monster Moto on my country. So could you help me about codes on Arduino?

    Thanks noorbeast.

    I want to ask you something; I will use this power supply for my Monster Moto, this is not a PC PSU so must I use a car battery also?

    Sorry @Mamati I am not sure what power supply you are referring to. It would be best to start your own build thread and give some details there, so members can assist you. That way all related information is in one place.

    MM is not needed all you need to do is drive one side of a N Channel mosfet and you will have plenty of juice to use , could even drive a RC ECM that from a model plane or buggy , very easy with an Ard , this in turn could be driving a very powerful fan , lol even at 7.6Volts too.
    So there is a couple of easier options than to use the MM , IMO would over complicate the whole build.

    earobbie thanks for your answer. I understand... with an Arduino and Rc Esc it would be better beacause I can use brushless motors and brushless esc, and there is unlimited choice on RC parts and many choice f.
    But I don't know the code for Arduino Uno....could you help on this

    Hi man.. I really want a wind simulator for my racing rig, but I find the tutorial too difficult. I have very little knowledge in putting together electronics etc..
    Would it be possible for me to pay you for creating one for me?

    Hey Kim. Man, I'm sorry for your situation. I totally understand. I was in the same place as you before I decided to finally bite the bullet and build mine. Unfortunately these projects can be pretty time consuming (more time consuming than I would want to get hired to do). And the T-REX controller I used in my kit is no longer for sale so an alternative would have to be figured out too. I'm sorry I won't be able to assist, but maybe one of the other members might see this thread and volunteer to help.

    I understand that. No problem at all :) But I did find an easy guide with just a pmw fan and an arduino +wires etc.. It was programmed for iRacing only, but I want it for AC also. I created a thread here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/need-help-building-my-wind-simulator.8831/

    Maybe one of you guys know how to code the Arduino to be used with AC also? :) I have a colleague whom is very good at electronics, and he can help me build this easy build shown in my thread.. But I need to code it for AC and iRacing both.. If possible
