    Hello everyone,

    I am pleased to share with you my new project. I have built and setup a new 6DOF Hexapod rig with rotating actuators controlled by an Arduino R3 Uno card through FlyPT Mover.

    Some adjustments are still needed....

    I bought all the parts separately and have not yet calculated the total amount. I will do it once it is finalized.
    The seat however can be bought on the internet on sites such as Amazon (cost ~$700). There are cheaper alternatives for sure but that one fits better :)
