    Hello All. :)

    The case has been completed, This evening.

    The Pololu Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback and Potentiometer x 3, Lighting manufacturers staff gave to solder the The week before last week.

    because, I will ask him to it.

    I have to buy a soldering apparatus however, In some ways was worried. so...

    and I gave to him $30, but as to be exact to say , Korean currency 30,000 won.

    That black case is conductive PCB Rack.

    But I do not know what it is conductive and MPPO, that is ignorant of me. :oops:

    anyway, In the shop website, Description is conductive MPPO material safe from static electricity that protects the PCB.

    The cooler is black cooler 92mm, and 120mm blue LED is on transparency.

    Pololu motor controllers and the ditch in front of the logo with the Motor Controller name to those outside the case, I will printed use to by printing papers for labels.

    also, I found Pololu logo is https://plus.google.com/ pololu/photos?hl=ko :grin

    but that title is profile photo. :rolleyes:

    I'll keeping the update. :grin

    Hello All. :)

    I just drilled two holes 8mm. Birch plywood 30T...

    But It is very difficult... :eek:

    My drill is a rechargeable drill.

    I'm off today so, I working for my only motion simulator.

    I just want to have one workshop. :cool:

    because, I have to do this at home... :D

    Hello All. :)

    I have some good news and bad news for my this project.

    First, The bad news...
    The first was something moving the motor in the last evening then not be moved back what the motor to move.
    so, today, I did continues to test it.
    and when I touched Motor output the wire for Adjustment of something...
    then The one board was blew up with the smoke. :(
    yes perhaps that is so crazy, because I had connected all wires(thats mean by also Motor Power Supply on)

    Second, The good news...
    Confirmed one potentiometer and the one motor is moving with Pololu Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback. ;)

    @noorbeast Forgive me for being late my reply to you. :(

    maybe like this

    It sounds like you created a short and the puff of smoke will likely be an expensive lesson in how important it is to take care with wiring and soldering :(

    Hello, @noorbeast :)

    Yes, that is expensive lesson. :(

    I ordered one board at midnight(12th) last night I did choice, FedEx shipping.

    Until that arrives, I try to test the board using a 2DOF Motion Simulator.

    I have one questions.
    My motor wires is thick then Jrk 12v12 board motor outputs A and B connector. How can easily connect the wires to the Jrk 12v12 board? :sos

    You have 3 choices. Join the motor wires to slightly small gauge wire that then goes to the JRKs. Solder the wires directly to the hole in the board without using a terminal block. Order larger gauge terminal blocks, you can get them on Ebay.

    Exciting times, well done :thumbs

    When you can please shoot and upload a video of your testing, I and others would really enjoy seeing your simulator in action.

    I can't see any fuses anywhere and given you have had one expensive accident you may want to consider adding some. Here is how you can work out what size fue you need: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/what-fuse-do-you-need.111/

    Hello @noorbeast

    I will be use to multi tap. :D

    It is also working well?

    I have a question to you for inverted motors.

    previously when I click to Detect motor direction in the Jrk Configuration Utility. then the two motors inverted. so How can I change that to foward direction? just change to red and black wire of the motor from motor controller outputs connector? however no problems for working it. ;)

    Sorry but I don't know what you mean by "I will be use to multi tap". Can you explain a bit more.

    You don't have to reverse the motors, you can just adjust for it in how you configure the axis settings in SimTool. In the Motor tab there is an Invert Motor checkbox in the JRK settings utility, if you want to invert them.

    Change feedback direct as well and test till motors are moving right
