Hi,

I'd like to inform the following persons to find another way for contact me, perhaps thru PM here in x-sim forum, cause every time I send them response email, it returns back with a "MAILER-DAEMON: failure notice"!!!

Maciej Orszulak

Sorry for this little privacy intrusion but I have no other way to communicate with you two guys...

Hello,

I decided to collect all my code about AMC1.5 into one firmware that would be the first official release v1.0. It replaces all previous beta versions.

For this reason I included the code for the two motion styles (Joyrider & SimforceGT) in it, and made it selectable between them with a jumper.

But his isn't the only feature. I also decided to give to the users the ability to change the servo motor KP proportionality values through simple terminal connection:

Anyway you can read all about it in the manual I made for it:

And of course the firmware that cames in four files, each one for the crystal speed you are using:

Hi,

I found a very cool layout program that was very easy to learn (record time only 2 hours!!!!!) and I converted most of my layouts to it! Its the Sprint-Layout 5!

The best part with it is that it can export Gerber and Excellon data!! And it not the only thing it can do! It has a great autoroute function and DRC check of the layout! Look in the photo below how easy it is to test the connections on my layouts:

Anyway I'll give you here the new improved layout of my AMC1.5. Its the same as the old one but with some more well placed line curves and gerber and excellon data!

And bottom side only:

And these are the gerber and excellon data (I checked the gerber data and they are ok!). The gerber data includes Solder Mask layers for both top and bottom side of the board!

And here are some photos of the board with the photo function of the Sprint layout5!

Enjoy,

(EDIT: FIXED the two errors in lines of the layout reported by R-eng)

hi guys!

i am collecting the components to build this nice thingy..

i have found most of the components at reichelt.de with a good price. there are some things i am not able to find though.. maybe you ahve an idea:

atmega8535 16PI (have found all models but not this one.. )
crystals
inductor coil
dip switch (found it only with a different form and 5 euro.. )

thank you very much! any place in europe is ok! the very best would be a single shop to order everything for a good price..

bye

any place in europe is ok! the very best would be a single shop to order everything for a good price..

Yes, I know. The best shop that sell them in extreme low prices is here in Athens called "FANOS" !! I could not find any on-line source that can beat its prices yet! Too bad for all others, that it have no on-line ordering! And it doesn't even have website!!!!

I guess I'm lucky for this aspect to live here! I'm wondering, why there are not such electronics supply shops (that you can buy in any quantity without the price to be affected) in other countries too?

I wish I had to time to arrange component kits for everyone that is interesting in my electronics...

any chance that you manage to get a single electornic component kit?

lets see if xomebody found a site that sells everything for a good price..

[sharky]

thank you.. sadly i dont have a company..

Hi,

After lots of requests for a new connection diagram for AMC1.5 - DSMhb1.2 with wiper motors, I made one:

Hi !! .. I'm a mechanical engineering student and with a friend of mine are thinking in building a 3-DOF gyroscope like simulator, to permit full revolution for flight simulators ... so we will need to use 3 motors to drive the system and since in every guide or "how-to" of yours you use a LCD in the data line that in my understand will be used for drive the third motor I wanna ask you how to the motion-controller will interface with 3 motors and if have tried it already... since the DSMhb is build to control two motors can you say to me how power can it deliver to just one motor ??

Thanks a lot... Sorry if some question may be stupid but I'm doing so many things now that I haven't had enough time to take a deep look in the PCBs...
