Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Hello everyone, happy to be here.
I have already made my static simulator (since 2016) and I plan to spend it as a dynamic simulator.
I will probably buy 2 DOF SCN6 the next month.
I am a simple amateur and I only play F1 2017.

Bonjour à tous, ravi d'être parmis vous.
J'ai déjà fabriqué mon simulateur statique (depuis 2016) et j'envisage de la passer en simulateur dynamique.
Je vais probablement acheter 2 DOF SCN6 le mois prochain.
Je ne suis qu'un simple amateur et je ne joue qu'à F1 2017.

Good day all. My name is Roland from South Africa. I am by n means a computer programming pro and at this stage I am only a novice at best.

But I can assure you all I don't look onto this site as a quick recipe for success. My project:

I am going to build a 3DOF motion platform using the Nema42 driven by DQ860MA managed by Arduino Uno.

The torque of these stepper motors are 300kg per inch, so I don't think a gearbox will be needed.

I am going to start to play around with the software and try to manipulate / control the motors.
I will share photos once my frame design is finished and manufactured. If I may, I would like to test the communities opinion regarding VR Oculus as to fixed screens.

Thanks

say hi to all, and thank you who created and run this site.

Hi Roland,

welcome here.

can you confirm the torque you are calculating with?
The strongest NEMA 42 stepper I can see generate 4100 [Oz - in], that match nearly 29 [Nm].
Your 300 kg per inch match nearly 390[Nm], that seems to high in my opinion.

(don't know where to post this else, sorry)

I am from China,actually I want to introduce my project which similar to YAW VR, China gov block the web make it very slow and can't use youtube,maybe I can try upload some pictures on a new post.


I am using this wheel.

Hi everyone! I'm Morgan, from Ontario Canada. I've been reading through the forums and member projects here for quite some time, and finally decided to join the community. The amount of information here, and members that are eager to help each other with their projects is amazing! I look forward to being a part of it, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute to it as well.

I'm currently in the early stages of building a racing/flight sim rig, using a fuselage from an old aerobatic biplane (hated seeing it rotting away out in the weather, so I had to rescue/re-purpose it). Planning on a G seat to start, and full motion eventually. I'll start a build thread soon to document my progress as I go.

Hello,

I'm Matt for Oz, I've been quite active in the iRacing forums for the past year or so, quite a humbling experience to start here as a forum n00b with no coins !

I have an interest in open wheelers, F1, Indycar and OSW.

On the iRacing forum I have numerous posts on Kollmorgen "bogeyman" servos, SinCos encoder upgrades and bass shakers. Drop me a line if you need any help with the above !

Long-term my goal is 4 or more degrees of freedom, perhaps 4 vertical actuators + yaw + surge/sway.

I'm 60 years old, I teach technology in high school and I am pilot-instructor of ULM Multiaxe (very light aircraft)
I live near Le Mans in France and I would like to introduce students to piloting within the framework of the school with a simulator whose movements would approach those of a plane.
I have browsed forum, incredible richness, and I am convinced that technically I am able to engage a 3DOF project at least, with the software Sim Tools

For the associated simulation software I have not yet decided between Flight simulator and X Plane. In any case there will be three screens at least that I would like to fix on the dynamic simulator.
Thank you very much, in advance

Best regards

Hi everyone,

I'm Kas from Sydney Australia. I play fair bit of racing simulators (iracing, AC, RR3E) and also flight/space simulators (DCS/X-Plane & ED). I currently own 2DoF motion simulator from motion systems (http://motionsystems.eu), which im no longer happy with and currently looking for some help in building or advice in if i could butya pre-build packaged 4DoF or 6D0F simulator.

Unfortunately im not that handy at starting my own project as many people have done here. I can do modifications and tweaks but thats about it. I hope i have come to the right place.

Thanks.

bonjour mon nom est philippe Je vis en France désolé pour mon mauvais anglais , je découvre le forum avec un grand plaisir que
je cherche à faire un simulateur 2 ddl et j'espère trouver mon bonheur avec vous à
bientôt

Hello Togheter,
First i have to say sorry for my bad english.
I am 17 comig from Switzerland. My Boss and i want to build a 6 DOF Motion Platform. He wants it for Paracticing the Nordschleife for VLN. I want it just for Fun.
Best Regards

Yannik
