2DOF with Arduino UNO and Monster Moto Shield

actual assembly:



...racing playseat or virtual reality ?

I start view this web site casually.
After see other project like :

I decide to start my project.



from car demolition



(first version : wiper motor fiat 500)


from a race car driver


from a photovoltaic installer (aluminum profiles 40x40 mm)

profili alluminio


and after some time

primoassemblaggio


and more

now must assembly and test controller parts.



with

power supply 12V 30A


Arduino UNO R3


Monster Moto Shield


some pins and a cooling fins


Assembled as you can see


if you chose not to stack the two cards:
Arduino .../... Monster
... GND .../... GND pin
..... 5V .../... 5V
.. pin 4 .../... pin 4
.. pin 5 .../... pin 5
.. pin 6 .../... pin 6
.. pin 7 .../... pin 7
.. pin 8 .../... pin 8
.. pin 9 .../... pin 9

left pot


right pot


install arduino software and driver

load firmware from RacingMat found here
https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/arduino-code-2dof-and-2-pins-direction-hbridge.67/


mount motor for test
(before check isolation = http://vos-playseat-stephaned61.xooit.f ... e.htm#p642)


- Left Motor power attached in A1-B1
- Right Motor power attached in A2-B2
- Left pot 10k control connect in A5
- Right pot 10k control connect in A4
like reported from racingmat, prefer CERMET (ceramic + metal) track rather than cheap carbon track.

when you power on power supply and connect Arduino to usb (i use only usb 5v), motors move in middle position. if they move continuously, you must invert A4 with A5 wire.

if mount motors in opposite position remember to attach the wires in opposite ways for one motor and relative potentiometer (the centre remain in centre).

you can test motor movement with arduino serial monitor writing L00<cr>, LFF<cr>, R00<cr>, RFF<cr> and you can see move to lower and highest position.


the result can see here :


next step final assembly

when i received last part:


i can assembly my racing playset:









adding some pics with quotations; total weight 73kg


and after some electrical and mechanical adjustments
we decide to make first video:


we want to extend special thanks to:
Alfio, Jody, Luca, Matteo, Mauro, Paolo, Saverio, Walter, RacingMat and sirnoname


after a shorts tests broke both motor shafts



therefore i decide to different motor assembly and now i have this structure.


panoramic final assembly of playseat


after further problems with pots, decide to buy cermet pots
i hope have more long life


and if my mounting calibration is not perfect, buy also flexible couplings


assembled


and now other tests.

after some adjustment the playseat move ok with new cermet pots

another add-on: decide to install a safety switch to break motor power.


this help me for a problem in power on sequence.
i have Arduino power from pc usb and 5v for pots is from arduino.
sametime in power on, my motors rotate casually with the possibility of broken.
now i power on pc, attach arduino to usb, sit on playseat and release the power for motors.

added handbrake :
i have attach a micro-switch in parallel of a button inside the steering whell






LAST : added blue led strip

before .................. after

Bon travail saraz.
A tu d'Autres photo du câblage des catres arduino et monstrer moto et le code pour paramètrage du arduino.
Je suis sur mon projet 2 dof.

I have no other photos, but can refer to RacingMat project (https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/arduino-code-2dof-and-2-pins-direction-hbridge.67/) where you can find more info and alternative.
best regards

Merci
JE TRAVAIL sur mon Projet Et je te joints des photos.
Je regarde sur racingmat pour l'info.

Hello
thank you very much for these informations and
the photos of your editing
I start totally and I will love
manufacture for college students
an airplane pilot simulator
x plane or FGX
I will follow the links that you propose
