    Hi.

    I`m finely going to build an 6dof sim.

    This is something I always dreamt owe, and just by accident og luck depending owe hoo you ask. I stumbled upon an home made 6dof on youtube and I discovered there was more people like me, and it was totally within my skillset to build one owe my one.

    I`m not that good with the computer part so I will probably ask a lot of stupide questions.

    I hope people will like my project and are patient because I'm also running my one company so this project will probably take som time.

    So lets get started. My servos arrived today and like any other project its important to make mistakes right from the beginning and here is mine.

    This is to smale


    it may have ben vice owe me to remember to check the dimension on the output shaft on the servos



    And this is the other mistake, but what do you think? I ment to order 110st-mo6020 6Nm for my direct drive but I managed to order 110st-m02030 2Nm.

    I hope is good enough, it will pull around 8Kg on the steering well but will it runn hot

    My Motion Simulator:
    AC motor, Motion platform, 4DOF, 6DOF
    My Direct drive steering wheel motor is just a 90ST-M02430. It does heat up a bit, but nothing extraordinary. Maybe add a fan to keep it cool.

    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF, DC motor, Arduino, Motion platform
    This looks like the start of a solid build. I'm looking forward to the end product.
