    My first build was made in wood, connected to a 18v drill and some relays in to the motor of the steering wheel. Then a winch system to drive the chair left right.(Just like that on inwent geek) (sorry no pics, trashed years ago)

    I have gattered 2 x viperengines, velleman k8055 (Just finished soldering, looks like it is working well!?. .) Not tested with x-sim software yet, i have made a platform with a car chair and my momo wheel.

    I need something like the sabertooth dualmotordriver, but it`s a little exspensive for my budget , i need something cheaper, can i make the cirquit myself? what parts do i need?, can i use relay`s?, how is the connection cheme, etc. .
    Al my earlier projects have been no cost and low cost (like my mame arcade machine.)
    (squse my english, dyslexia) Regards Johnny . . . .

    Or these, no need for a K8055, just one board per motor http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1393 , they are a controller and h-bridge in one. They will handle up to 30 amps peak at 12 volts. 7 wires and one usb cable. Easy USO commands to set up to x-sim program.
    :cheers:
