    Hi guys! After looking at various gaming platform projects on this forum, I also decided to build a gaming platform. I studied this issue for a very long time, watched and read other projects of forum members. I'm not a programmer and I don't know much about electronics either, but I have a desire to build myself a gaming platform.
    My skills: I can distinguish a diode from a capacitor, also connect wires and solder with a soldering iron, use a welding machine a little.
    It's kind of scary to start building a full-fledged model right away, since the costs are impressive, and the result is unknown whether it will work or not, and the money has already been spent on components. Therefore, I will start small, that is, with a model on servos. There was also a question of collecting 2dof or 3dof. If in theory 2dof is more or less clear how it works, then 3 dof seemed to me more interesting since it is possible to implement the demolition of the rear axle of the car. Therefore, today I will order 3 servos in the store, connecting wires for the Arduino uno microcontroller and a power supply or battery so that this whole circuit works. To be continued.....

    Thanks a lot for the hint, but there is 2dof and I was going to build 3dof, so I need the program code for 3dof.

    Hi guys! Finally, I made a model with three micro servos. And all this works stably! For clarity, some install a car, but I decided to make a racer out of styrofoam and a racing seat out of a piece of plastic. I also decided to post my settings.

    Now you can think about a full-size layout, but you just need to save up money, since the costs in the working version are completely different;). Wish me luck, because luck would be useful to me. Thank you all so much for your help.:cheers

    Just some small axis assignment change suggestions, set Axis 3 to Extra1, as Extra1 is used for traction loss in game plugin.

    Sway should be set in Axis 1 and 2, it is set with the opposite Dir settings to roll and sway should lean away from a corner.

    Thank you so much for the suggestion and comment:thumbs. Perhaps I needed to increase the percentage of the roll level and then the discrepancy would be more noticeable.
