    Morning all,

    I hope you are all well.

    I've recently come back to sim racing and was looking at getting the NLR V3, but then remembered I had been a member here for quite a few years and so have decided to go DIY.

    I am looking at building a NLR V3 style platform, mainly due to the limited space I have available at home.

    From what I have read so far, I will be going down this route, the diagram is easy to follow.

    Up to now, I have the following in a basket at Amazon;

    DC 24V 25A 600W Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply AC 110V/230V to DC 24V LED Driver Transformer for LED Strip Light, LED Display, Industrial Automation

    2pcs BTS7960 43A IBT-2 High Current Half-Bridge Configuration PWM Driver Board DIY Smart Car Motor Driver Module

    Arduino Uno REV3 [A000066]

    My queries at this point are what potentiometers and motors to go with, on motors there seem to be so many choices out there.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thanks, Kris

    Starting to look at the frame design to get some calculations to go into simcalc, would love to hear your thoughts on this if you would be so kind please.

    My suggestion would be to adjust Max Angle to 80, as with a compact design torque matters most and over 40 degrees up and down effective torque utilisation drops off rapidly.

    The rest angle will be 0 in a compact design.

    Other members have found benefits in running IBT2s under 24v.
