hi,
I wanted to do a 4dof, rotating 180 degrees.
This card supports 4 frequency inverter?
what is the purpose 2 x 10k Ohm potentiometers ppc27?

Thank you!

hello,
yes the card supports 4 frequency inverter.

[paiva27]

Thanks.

what is the purpose of potentiometers?

hello how are you? I'm doing a simulator like yours and I have a couple of questions, where you got the Velleman k8061 interface and frequency inverters? are very expensive? thank you very much good job

I assume the purpose of the potentiometers is determining the position of the motorarms.

The reason potentiometers are used here is because they give an analogue signal that the VM140 can measure. an alternative would be a rotary encoder but the VM140 can't work with these signals.

The Vellemankit costs around 120 euro's. For a good frequency invertor, for example the Siemens G110 0,75 kW you would pay aroung 200 euro's.

Hello lealjay,

Nice job on the platform. I am a teachter electrical engineering and last schoolyear I have build a racesimulator which you can in action here:

This schoolyear we are planning to build a new one that is based on the thruxim. I am planning to keep up the work on the new X-sim website (www.x-sim.de). Would you mind sharing some information on the mechanical construction of the platform?

Thanks in advance,
Bart

Hi Bart. You may have noticed it already but I have a forum thread requesting information on the exact model of motor and gearbox that CKAS use on the their T2s platform, as used on the Thruxim - http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/information-on-ckas-t2s-motion-platform-t3872.html?hilit=ckas. I have also started a similar thread on the x-sim.de forums - http://www.x-sim.de/forum/search.php?keywords=ckas.

If we can obtain this information then we can look at the best pricing available on the same SEW Eurodrive motor and gearbox (possibly R Series ?), either new or pre-used/reconditioned, and would also be able to see if there were cheaper alternatives available.

It would be worth your while monitoring these threads and if you're fortunate enough to source any info would you add it to one of these threads. Probably the one on the new x-sim.de site would be best.

Thanks

Hi , here are new pictures and a video of my 2DOF simulator this time with a full enclosed cabin built on his top . The cabin is actually empty but will be equipped with a short throw projector , 2 rally car seats ( left seat for racing and right seat for plane sim) , thrustmaster t500RS car wheel , saitek aviator joystick , saitek rudder pedals , saitek throttle quadrant .
