    Hi All, here I share my dream racing sim rig DIY build... a 6 DoF Steward platform base...

    Also some post on my IG story.
    Here I share the arduino code. My revision with some additional codes filters out the ringing hunting PWM noise on my motor during idle. It is very very silent now.
    Here I share the full assembly 3D CAD design files. When you use it, please credit me @BOSeTAMPER as the original creator.

    Thats a neat sim, nice and compact

    Can you tell us about the code to remove motor noise when the motors are stationary ?

    How does the heatsink work on the motor drivers ?

    Thanks! Exactly, I want a compact build. Originally for go-kart setup.

    I just added the code on the post, see on the top link.

    The heatsink is fine (not that concerning the hot level). I add a small fan just for extra precaution.
    I do have 1 lemon board though, just a warning. I checked the solder quality on that particular one is just way low quality (should not passed if the manufacture is actually test it).

    What a great design. No wasted space and obviously well thought out in advance. IMO it's the perfect size for a 6DOF. Are you going to share the plans and drawings?
    Which planetary specifically are you using. there are 4 choices for the 50:1 gearbox.

    Thank you! Glad you appreciate it!

    Please find the 3D CAD design files on the page. I just add the link. Please don't forget to credit me if you do use it :cheers

    Here is the Harmonic Drive 1:50 PG32 for 14mm input shaft for 86mm stepper motor (I add a motor mounting adaptor for the DC motor).

    Do you use any protection against reverse currents ?

    I do not.
    The power supply able to handle the load from the motor driver very well. I never get any power lost at all, ever. Works well and simpler built.

    Hi, I'm really impressed with the motion system you built — congratulations and good job!
    By the way, I just tried the SMC3 code you made, and it had a positive impact on my setup. There used to be a buzzing sound coming from the motor, but now it's much quieter!
    Thank you, mas bro!

    Can you post a video of your ride in 6DOF without background music so we can hear how quiet your 6DOF is?

    Exactly, especially when you increase the PWMmin — it gets noisier when under load during standby. btw, Keren banget rig nya! It's hard to find that item in Indonesia.

    Thanks bro!
    Great job building your rig, while it is not easy to find the parts in Indonesia. Salut!!!
    USA is like heaven for a hardware engineer, easy to get parts :D

    Hi, really impressed by this work !
    Do you have an idea of the rig weight ?

    Thanks!

    I never really able to measure the weight, but if I ballpark it, about 150-200lbs in total.

    Yes. I shared the design file. Please check this first post above. Welcome to use it and it would be nice to credit me as the designer.

    FYI, while my current mounting is AL60601 cnc made, I tested with FDM 3D 3dprint and it works well.
