    Hello everyone, everything good? Sorry for my English, because I'm using Google Translate because I'm from Brazil and speak only Portuguese.
    I'm new here in the community and I've never posted anything, but I followed thousands and thousands of projects here where I created several ideas to build mine, but this construction will be aimed at the lowest possible cost.
    I won't name any names here because I studied many excellent projects and got a little bit of each one's idea and I also know that I will have help here from the community throughout the creation journey, because I've never created anything so complex of the type but I wanted to go soon for a 6DOF platform where the immersion is much greater.
    Speaking of immersion, this platform will be exclusively for me to play with my Pimax 8KX DMAS virtual reality glasses, so I won't have a monitor weight on the platform, as I still don't know the load capacity of my engines.
    Without further ado for now, below I will post the pictures and information of the engines.

    Here I have already started the electronic tests.
    I printed a 3D support for the potentiometer.
    I'm using a B10K linear potentiometer (low cost), Arduino Uno R3 and an IBT2 driver (BTS7960).
    Software SMC3 and SimTools still in the demo version, because I still got the complete one.

    What are the full specs of the motors, as driving a 6DOF platform will take fairly powerful motors?

    @noorbeast The motors are 24 V 10 amps, 82 RPM, 35nm (withdraw approximately 35kg). I believe they are very strong, but I think about putting a gas piston to relieve the pressure of the engines.
    I've seen in some posts here about using a gas piston but I have many doubts about which one to use.? Could you help me on this issue?
    I haven't bought them yet, but here I have them available to buy from 100n to 1000n

    @noorbeast Thanks for the comment, so I will wait for the development of the project to buy the gas struts.

    @noorbeast is it possible for me to get a free simtools license with this project detailed here for the community?

    Access to the free DIY license has a well defined criteria where all aspects must be met, in particular "The thread should show some effort, which means it should show progress to the rig testing phase":

    To qualify for a free license:

    • You must be building a true DIY motion simulator. (Not built from a kit or purchased from a simulator seller, a model simulator does not qualify.)
    • Have a unique build thread or Showcase in DIY Simulator Projects. (The thread should show some effort, which means it should show progress to the rig testing phase.)
    • Have been a member of the community for at least 30 days.
