Thanks Mat, didn't know the thing about the magnets.

Haven't measured the current by now, as I don't own such a device.
But what I can tell is, that in the default setting, the pololus were set in the configuration tool to 12A max current, which was not enough to lift me back up from a far left or right position. I set them now to 18A, and now it's working.
I'm not sure if this is really the true value that goes out to the motors, as it seems quite high to me, but I'm not very good with all this electronical stuff.

Anyway, it's a good idea. I'll get an amp measure device from a friend to see what's really getting on.

In the end I'm already thinking about getting myself a pair of this ones, what do you think?

Many people from Australia are happy with them !

But for Austria, the shipping maybe expensive... I would suggest you the truck wiper motors I'm using (they are from Germany)

Thanks, they look quite good, also the price.
And with this type, I think I wouldn't even need to adjust the mounting much.

But one question:
They are 24V and as I see, you are also using a power supply that only provides 12V. How does this fit together?

As you can see on the video, it's enough ! I have to reduce the parameters if not, it's too harsh !

But as i'm curious, i'm looking forward feeding them in 24v.
