2dof-wiper-motor-car-simulator-by-DERIY-(SATO)

Thanos recommended car battery, because it can provide very high amperage.
My wiper motors consume a small amperage.
About 10 amperes.
My h-bridge working fine.
Therefore, you can use any power supply that can provide the necessary amperage (10-15 amps) and voltage ( 12- 16Volt).
But first you must still know what amperage consume your engines.

What if you made it a sort of small 3DOF setup and used 3 wiper motors? Do you think it could simulate traction loss and what not?

Why not?






I think, you can will see my project finish in January only, because the controller is not ready now.

I want to see the work of this simulator with a real load.
Something around 80 - 100kg.

The Wipermotors will not be able to move this sim with load, i am pretty sure. Also suggest Akina make a topic for his project!

See you later

Hello Deriy.

Could you show the version and setup of x-sim software you use for your sim. If you just take some screen-captures of the apps in profiler as input, output math etc). That would be very useful for people like me thats building something similar with the same hardware (Thanos).

Hi!
I use xsim21communityRC4-2103.
Here are a few profiles. Скачать MyProfiles.rar с WebFile.RU

Hey Deriy. I have tried some of the profiles you posted, but I have some problems. Have a look here post27111.html I am happy if you are able to help!

Hello Deriy. Where do you buy the ball bearing linked rods? What are they usually used for?

do you remember this video ?
what do you think of this ? not for me because i use a ac motor

Нello Fredspeed!
I bought the bearings in the store. http://www.fbj-bearings.com/bearing.asp?id=24
Choose Rod-End in Bearings Name, and Click on the GO and download the catalog.
I used ball bearing SERIES PHS 10 R.

Yes, I remember this video.
Seen it before I started designing my simulator.
A good idea to use a spring to assist motors
move 3dof simulator.

Here's another simulator.
I really like his design.
Amplitude just incredible.
Instead of spring it uses rubber bands.

what kind of electronic board u using to control the wiper motors ? as i like your design and looking at building this design myself,so i'm new to the motion sim's and electronics so any help would be greatly appreciated

I use the controller and the H-bridge, by Thanos.

Great for the seat designs and overall great solution. Have has something similar in mind for a while but you've lead the way here. .... Outstanding work. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Deriy,
My name is Terry Alford and I've been trying to find a way to build a full motion sim without spending a lot of money. Your system as presented here in X-sim is fantastic and seems perfect for my project. Are you planning to provide plans for your platform. I would like to build a 3 large screen projector display in my Garage where I can fly realistically with todays software programs and some kind of full motion platform. Additionally I have already built the Gaming computer and loaded Microsoft Flight Sim- X, Falcon 4.0 Allied Force and Proflight Sim. I have a Saitek X52 Joystick and Throttle and Rudder pedals. I live in Florida and I get a lot of my items from Craigslist which is a on line platform for selling items. Since we have a lot of OLD People including myself, we see a lot of stuff for sale. So far I've spent less than $500.00 for everything. The only thing I'm missing is the Chair and motion Platform. I am very computer knowledgeable and a good handyman but I don't know a thing about the platform mechanics and interface software and how to integrate it into my operation . Please let me know if you are willing to share your knowledge. You really deserve to get a Pat on the back for your project. I've been searching the Net for months looking for a Home Method that would be fun and affordable.
Thanks Again for sharing your project.

Hi Terry!
I will be glad to share information about my simulator.
Although in its design, I do not see anything special.
Just changed the layout engine.
I believe that the greatest merit belongs to Thanos.
Without his controller, I could not make my simulator.

Hi Terry and welcome! This should be in the New Members thread, but its OK!

You are in the right place to build a cheap(er) simulator. You can find many ideas and technical information on this forum.

Some word of advise for you:
-Look around for different types of moving platforms. Some are better for racing simulation, some are better for flight. Deriy's seat is excellent, however you might find a joyrider or gimbal style simulator more suitable for flight simulation due to higher pitch/roll angles. With a smart and balanced construction you can have a triple monitor moving with you in a fully enclosed cockpit.

-X-Sim will take care of the interfacing between hardware and software. Get familiar with it because you will be using it a lot! The manual is a great start and the forum has lots of info on it too. The GUI is organized in a logical order and IMO is straight forward.

-If you are good at electronics, soldering, building PCB's, and troubleshooting, you will find more information about Thanos' AMC controller that can be used with brushed DC motors.

-If you are looking for a more out of the box electronic solution I recommend you to check out the Pololu jrk 12v12 topics here.


Good luck!

Hi Deriy , I have already built my sim, thanks to your ideas, I need the profiles for x.sim sender and the profiler, You can send me yours? Thanks Fidelware@gmail.com

Great Fantastic work .....!
I have one doubts.
That measured they have the interior of ROD END?
M8, M10?
Thank you very much.
