Good morning to all,

Here is a immage for my new 10 turns pot and my homemade gears, very accurate movment now and correct position! I love that

Hello , I never said wiper motors wouldnt work, I was referring to SCN5,6 Actuators, as some people seem to prefer them. Its just a warning more than anything else.
Wiper motors should be fine moving all points on the structure as the video shows.
If you want to try bigger dc motors, I use these http://www.motiondynamics.com.au/worm-d ... orque.html and some other members here have used similar . The motors are from a golf trolley, so you may be able to find something like it around.
I should mention that for control boards, I have not used the K8055, so I cannot advise on that.
Cheers, David.

Oh ok I got hurt I apologize and translating English you can never tell a good story ...

The SCN5 would be great for that kind of project cost, however, is too well who has a good budget to spend

I took a look at that site you suggested and the engine sounds good and the prices are not so high

Thanks for the advice david

Any help for yoda2???

i can't read any value, i'm running win7 64bit, i think this is the problem!! thanks!

If you are running version 2.089, it doesnt work.
If you are running version 3.003 or later, ask the question on www.x-sim.de

Thanks bsft, i'm waiting for the second step key for xsim3, i need it to read value or Ferrari virtual accademy

This issue should be discussed on www.x-sim.de , not here.

:O Finalmente ho trovato qualche italiano con i miei stessi tarli in testa! Anche io sto ultimando la mia postazione, ma è un po diversa dalla vostra. Ho usato un Playseat come base e gli SCN5 come motori (sì lo so, costano tanto). La configurazione con X-Sim l'ho già fatta, sto solo aspettando i pezzi dall'officina per poi montare tutto e farvi vedere il tutto finito.

Finally I found some italians with the same idea! I'm finishing my rig, but it's a little bit different because I used a Playseat base and the SCN5 motors (I know, they are expensive). I've already done the X-Sim setup and I'm just waiting for the parts from the workshop. When I will assemble the whole thing I will show my work.

Uso il forum per rispondere a caiubbo:
"Ciao, ho letto che userai un playseat, buona soluzione con snc5 ma costosa! attenzione che se devi far muovere tutto il playseat con quei attuatori se un pò sotto sforzo, a meno che le metti all'estremità ma avrai un braccio lungo e poco muovimento, meglio snc6 se proprio .
Ps: non uso mai msn, fai prima a chiedermi qui che ti rispondo sicuramente! posta le foto poi!!"

Hai ragione in pieno, infatti come primo simulatore applicherò il movimento solo al sedile (come il tutorial di Mr Burns), in questo modo riuscirò a valutare l'effettiva forza degli SCN5 e saprò meglio come muovermi per il secondo step, ovviamente il movimento a tutta la struttura. Per poterlo fare mi servirà costruire un telaio da zero come il vostro, perchè la struttura del playseat è davvero pesante e soprattutto progettata per rimanere statica. Avevo provato a sentire da un amico che lavora con la fibra di carbonio, ovviamente sarebbe il materiale più adatto allo scopo (estremamente leggero e rigido) ma davvero troppo costoso. Stavo pensando alla vetroresina, o una struttura in alluminio (ma è difficilmente saldabile), cmq prima di mettere mano agli strumenti faccio sempre molto lavoro sulla progettazione a priori. Una volta finita la mia prima versione potrò valutare come fare per la seconda. Non appena lo monterò vi farò vedere tutte le foto e i video che serviranno. In ogni caso c'è nessuno di voi che usa MSN? Lo trovo un modo molto piu comodo e veloce per comunicare, i forum sono troooooppo lenti!

I'm using the forum to answer caiubbo:
"Hello, I read that you'll use a playseat, good but expensive solution snc5! Note that if you have to move all the playseat with those actuators if a little stress, unless you put them on the edge, but you'll have a long arm and little moving of, better if their snc6;).
Ps: I never use msn, use the forum! post pictures then! "

You are right in the middle, in fact as the first simulator will apply the motion only to the seat (as the tutorial of Mr Burns), and in this way be able to evaluate the actual strength of SCN5 and will know how best to move the second step, of course, the movement throughout. To do this I will build a frame from scratch like yours, because the structure of playseat is really heavy, especially designed to remain static. I tried to hear from a friend who works with carbon fiber, of course, would be the most suitable material for the purpose (extremely light and stiff) but really too expensive. I was thinking fiberglass, or aluminum (but hardly weldable), cmq before putting his hand to the tools I always do a lot of work on designing. Once finished my first version I will consider how to make a second. As soon as may ride I'll show you all the photos and videos you need. In any case, there is not one of you who use MSN?

This is my new seat installed on my sim, in next weeks i code my arduino for my new project a 4dof
