    Welcome @Gerrit Bijlsma.

    Refining settings does take a bit of time, particularly initially, as it is part science, part personal preference, and a bit of software wizardry.

    I look forward to following your progress on your rig thread.

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm Dargelis, an architect from the Philippines with a soft spot for AR/VR, AI, and flight sim.

    Bit of a late bloomer in motion sim — I'm currently prototyping a 3DOF using broken RC helicopter parts, a car phone holder, and other studio scraps. It’s a scale model for now while I test the mechanics before going full scale. Huge thanks to @eaorobbie’s 2013 RC Model Code for Arduino UNO - 2DOF - Expandable 2.0 for lighting the way!

    Already built my DIY cyclic and collective controls from old joysticks, a monitor stand, and an e-bike throttle. Sharing progress pics of the model 3DOF and the heli controls here.

    Really glad to be here (though I registered last August 2024) — thanks for the warm welcome!

    Welcome @Dargelis.

    It sounds like you have some great skills and experience to lean on as you jump into the world of DIY motion rigs.

    You will also find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs, including code and instructions for using Arduino with a range of controllers: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here and detail your project, so members can give support and advice where possible: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.
