    Small update.
    1. SimTools 12 bit decimal output to Arduino
    2. Arduino processes and normalizes input (min 0, max 4095) to effective output.
      In this case the output is set to min 195, max to 550 becasue my test servos operate in that range.
    3. Adafruit PWMServoDriver sends the values over I2C to the Adafruit PWM shield.
    Got it working with a miniature test 6-DOF platform. Don't have time right now to post a video but will do that soon-ish...

    Arduino processes the input very smooth. The code is extremely simple and easy to understand and will work for 2-dof to 6-dof.

    Hope you like it :) I'll post the code later but here's a screenshot.

    Ciao Danalog,
    i'm interested on understanding a bit more on out you made your 6DOF prototype.
    Can you give me some more info ?

    Please check my just started project :

    Sorry not really, all the stuff I used to get to this point I found on this website. Except for coding and electronics skills, those I already had.

    Ok thank you!.
    Can you post the arduino code ?
    Or let me have your sample to lupus254@hotmail.it ?

    I have no much elettronic code competencies, so i can study how to do it.

    Regards
