    Hi,

    Here I am to present my project.

    Iwant to make works RRRE ; dirt rallye and probably nolimits 2 for unracers.

    Type of simulator :Moving seat

    Total moving load with driver is 110kg

    actuators
    Motor + reducers 120w 24V


    Manufacted parts
    Wood for the base I reuse a solid coffee table + RZR joint
    + a steel frame for the moving part and one as the commands supports

    My materials

    Control : Arduino UNO and Sabertooth 32

    I wanted 7 - 7.5 degrees (means the total will be 14 - 15 degrees).
    So with the distance I have between the joint and the motors axes (25cm) it mean 3.7 cm as lever.
    My system will work at 120° to make it more punchy and to preserve the material.



    This is the support of the joint.
    It will be sold in it to avoid rotation.
    another fixation will take place on the right at the upper side.

    The support of the seat.

    The beginning of the installation.

    Then the electronics parts.

    The motors and supports (soldered face to face to increase strongness):

    At this time I ve done some tests on LFS and it appears the the support of the motors were not enouth strong.
    So I've add 2 more supports to avoid the motors supports to twist.

    Now it works perfectly. Only missings a few of painting.
    Waiting to test soon on the games I use to play.

    The plugings are now dowloaded.
    Just waiting to know if I can get a free DIY licence.

    Next step of the construction will be to add an harness.

    Hi,
    As written on the upper side, the card I used are arduino uno (very cheap) and Sabertooth 2x32.
    The result is very impressive and dynamic.

    Thanks

    J'ai utilisé une arduino uno et Sabertooth (dimension engineering)
    Le résultat est énorme.
