    Hello to all, I'm an electronic expert from Italy, and I'm building my first 3dof motion simulator. I hope to find help with the knowledge of simtools and tuning of the system with my hardware. Regards

    Welcome @Giuseppe Romano.

    Do you have a sketch of your design and what hardware are you planning to use for our simulator?

    When we know what you have in mind the members here can assist you in how to use SimTools to power your rig.

    Yes, I'm planning to build a 3 dof motion platform, with 24V motor reductor disposed at 120°, linked to the moving platform. I've seen a lot of commercial solution using this approach. For the electronic, I'm using the Arduino Uno and 3 driver BTS7960 capable of 43A peak current so should not be a problem to drive a 250W motor in safe conditions.

    Hello friend! I'm from Brasil and I'm good at mechanical things, I work with SolidWorks, so if you need some 3d drawings for the simulator, no problem calling me!
    I'm planning about doing a 3DOF too!

    Hello and welcome. I'm building a 3dof motion platform using smc3 source, 3 motor driver 43A, 3 power supply 24V/30A and 3 motor reductor 350W/24V(disposed at 120 degree). I'm starting the project now, but the electronic components was already tested ant the workbench. If you need any type of info contact me.
