Quick hello to everyone
« on: March 22, 2013, 05:10:44 pm »
I've been browsing this forum for an unhealthy amount of time over the past week and thought its time I introduced myself, so hello everyone :)

I toyed with the idea of making a cab many moons ago but it never went any further than that, now its all I can think about lol. Having looked at some of the examples on here I cant wait to get to work, the main inspiration coming from Griffindodds Revolution, that sir is just awesome  :notworthy:

I've tried to soak up as much info as possible reading threads, looking at the faqs, watching videos etc so hopefully I'm in a good starting position. I have experience of building PCs although limited which should come in handy, as for the electronics side of things eg what wires are soldered where, how to power leds/motors etc, I have no idea so I will be calling on you guys for help :)

I know I shouldn't but I've already started to buy parts, mainly the bits needed for the rotating monitor setup. How it all fits together and is wired up I have no idea but Ill figure it out with your help.
