    Sorry for my bad English
    During last few weeks with corona time, I start to prepare 2DOF beginner project.
    My inspiration took from Erwan960 GREAT project: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/diy-2dof-simulator.4793/

    Specification:
    - Fanatec CSL seat
    [​IMG]

    - old Fanatec wheel CSR Elite
    [​IMG]

    -

    - 2DOF main frame make on industrial aluminium profiles (mainly on 80x40mm standard)

    - DC motors DOGA 269.4104.20.04 12V DC Motor 1800rpm 0.8Nm
    Nominal current 20A

    - worm gear 30:1 Motovario NMRV

    - Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback

    - 10k +/- 10%, linear +/- 1% potentiometer SP22E

    I will share step by step progress of my work, this evening...

    Today I just prepare rest of mechanical parts.

    1. Kardan joint from MTZ tractor:

    Thanks !

    O sh... I focused on to much how to mount exist Fanatec chair to the alu-profiles. I did not consider this very important factor ;-/
    I will check how to minimize this gap.


    Thank You for this tip.

    First parametrization of JRK 12V12

    1. Feedback settings

    3. PID tuning result

    Small overshoot is not so critical in this control plant.

    In Errors page I can see fast increasing "Feedback disconnect" error. Is it normal? I have the same behavior on both JRK.

    Dear Guys, I just stop my project on first test in SimTools. I just try to find similar problem & solution and I finally give up.
    Please support me with below problem.
    JRK utility is working fine but in the SimTools I've notice Protocol Communication Errors. On the real plots You can see that motor moves but not according to the Variable Roll which I change in the Simtools Axis.

    Please check it in below movie. You can see my settings. Please support me.

    I just find the reason by myself. I have to change Output Bit Range parameter. Every post which I read, there was 12bits. I have change to 7 and errors dissapear!

    Hi Peter ,,,you only have one axis assigned in simtools interface settings,,,,, on the interface output use

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>]

    Thanks for answer. This interface output commands are for Arduino method of control. As You can see my project use Pololu.
    thx.

    Today I focused on electronics part. I was really supprised that Pololu made so small terminals for such big amperage. I did some adapter for main power cables (3.5mm2).
    For this purpose I have use 2.5mm2 hard wire and aluminium wires connection tube. After proper clamping and fill the gaps with solder.

    If you are using JRKs then the Interface Type in Interface Settings should be set to JRK. You then configure the device number, Assigned Axis and Output Rate (10ms). Do that for Interface 1 and 2 in the tabs.

    I've read a lot that JRK heat dissipation is really big and they need propel cooling. I decided to use PC coolers. Problem is that on PCB we have capacitors close to ST motor driver.
    In this case I've use thermal pads.

    Today I decided to add one more feature = Traction loss axis ;-)

    I chose motor from Oper Corsa power steering:
