360 rolling brazilian sim

Most interresting thing on this post is for me: how made they a power supply for their peripherals. On such a thing you can´t use cables and plug them into that joystick, monitor, etc.
There must be a connection like on a steering wheel from a car or something. but there´s only one contact for the horn. Negative is coming from the column. But in their sim are a few more signals to deliver.

You can use slip ring http://www.adafruit.com/products/736

..
Rotation Speed: 102o/s

Well that would be wrong or they build mixer

Ok then, point taken, so what sort of design are you looking for.
I have built 8 sims in the past of compact designs including a "joyride atom"style.
The big sim you mention here would use expensive 240v motors as you can see.
I am not sure what you expect us "experts" to comment about it.

What type of motors do you mean? what are the specs in amps or watts and speed i mean? da you think that one of these will do the job?

If you are planning a 240v motor setup, I cannot help. My work is still on 12v motors.

Hmm... does anyone else know something about this? First what i was thinking about is to use the signal from the jrk´s, that is normally used for normal wiper motors, and transfer it via a relais to the 240v volt motors. Or did anyone have another solution? Someone must have done an electrical circuit before.

As for jrks as a control board and using the outputs, I asked pololu about this already, this is the answer I got,
"Yes, I think you could use the signals from the jrk's two motor outputs to control another hbridge, but this would be an advanced task and would probably level shifting. When driving at an intermediate speed, one of the motor outputs will be driving high and the other will alternate between driving low and being high impedance, so you would need a pull-up resistor on that line to guarantee that its voltage changes. An oscilloscope would be very useful to determine that you are getting the signal you expect. You might need some discrete logic components depending on what the truth table of your motor driver is."
For 240v control, you'd be best using a K8055, K8061 or tronic card to control 240v motors via inverters.
Scan the threads here, I remember someone has done this.

For anyone who has questions about driving 230V motors, it maybe interesting to follow this project in the coming months:
