    Ciao a tutti,
    dopo quasi un anno di letture ed analisi, ho finalmente deciso di tentare di costruire la mia piattaforma dinamica 2DOF con motori 12V.
    Per il momento ho solo scelto la tipologia e tirato giù qualche disegno, ma presto avrò sicuramente bisogno di supporto per realizzare il tutto nel concreto.
    Spero che le mie idee siano utili a qualcuno come quelle che ho trovato in questo forum lo sono state per me.
    Ciao


    Hello everyone ,
    after nearly a year of readings and analysis , I finally decided to groped to build my platform dynamic 2DOF with 12V engines .
    For the moment I only chose the type and taken down some design , but soon I will definitely need support to realize everything in concrete .
    I hope that my ideas are useful to someone like the ones I found in this forum have been for me .
    Hello

    Ciao, grazie per la tua interessante risposta e per i link!
    Per il momento sto solo pensando al design, ma approssimativamente gli angoli saranno come quelli descritti nel link che hai postato (20°-30° e 5°-10°).
    Quando avrò assemblato gli elementi principali, pensavo di procedere con qualche test empirico partendo da suggerimenti e calcoli trovati nel forum.
    Grazie ancora!!!


    Hello , thank you for your interesting reply and for the links !
    For the moment I'm only thinking about the design , but the angles are approximately as those described in the link you posted ( 20 ° -30 ° and 5 ° -10 ° ) .
    When I have assembled the key elements , thought to proceed with some empirical test starting from suggestions and calculations found in the forum .
    Thanks again !!!

    Nuovo design, più essenziale per diminuire i pesi...

    New design , more essential to decrease weights ...

    Are you going to use JRKs or Arduino/MotoMonster? And what kind of motors?

    Ciao. Per il momento l'idea è di usare Arduino + H Bridge Sabertooth dual 2x25A V2.

    Grazie per il suggerimento (ovviamente ben accetto!!! ;) ).
    L'attuale configurazione è solo "prototipale" (ho fatto giusto qualche punto di saldatura...); l'idea è di sostituire i motori e rinforzare il tutto... dopo aver verificato che funzioni :)
    Grazie ancora!!!


    Thanks for the tip ; )
    The current configuration is only a " prototype " ( I did just a few points of welding ... ); the idea is to replace the engines and strengthen everything ... after checking that it works :)
    Thanks again!!!

    Finalmente ho potuto mettere nuovamente mano al Progetto. Ecco qualche aggiornamento.
    Le modifiche sono scaturite da "test sul campo" e da qualche suggerimento preso qua e là. :)

    I finally got again put my hands to the project .
    Here are a few updates. The changes are gleaned from " field testing " and taken any suggestions here and there . :)

    @ilbiga dont know if you forgot about this post
    your motors would get overloaded moving a full frame. you will need to go higher on the shoulders mount point and move a bit back the motors to help motors

    Ciao e grazie. Non ho perduto il post che mi hai inviato.
    Attualmente il sistema di movimento è solo in fase sperimentale. Non trascurerò i tuoi consigli, grazie! :)


    Ciao and thanks. I have not lost the post that you sent me.
    Currently the motion system is only in the experimental stage . Do not neglect your advice , thank you! :)

    Ciao! bel lavoro complimenti!
    io sono sempre in fase progetuale per la meccanica. menre l'elettronica funziona di già!
    ho notato che abbiamo i soliti motori a 12V, una domanda: come hai fissato la leva e il potenziometro sull'abero del motore??
    Grazie!
