Just a quick one guys. I've just done this and it's a success, very happy. But sometimes it operates VERY slowly, as if you're doing it while the engine isn't running. Any ideas?
Thanks!

could be your battery
They are electric motors, so if the voltage was lower, they would be slower

Thanks. Seems to be absolutely fine, might have been something to do with me constantly testing it in a short space of time. It's perfect now

Has anyone done this recently? I have been waiting for a RoboTop or a ComfortTop to become available and they are not so I am ready to pull out my soldering iron and get to work.
I would think that the basic Arduino will have changed a few times over the past 2 years.

Arduino is still the same as it ever was, so no problem there. Just make sure you get one of the Atmel ATMega 328 based boards.

Can you confirm if this works?
 Uno R3 ATMEGA328P CH340 Micro USB Board for Compatible Arduino | eBay
Also, what gauge wire did you use?
I am a SW guy, not a HW guy but I have done HW projects.
Thanks, John

The CH430 part of of the arduino means its a clone of the original, only difference is that you will need the CH430 driver on your PC in order to upload the software.
Otherwise its identical to an arduino and should work just fine.
