    Hi everyone ,

    My name is Michał, i am from Poland. I am here because i am interested in buiding motion simulator. I am mechanical engeener and have some experience in electronic and CNC. My plan is first buid mini 2DOF and 6DOF working prototype and then 6DOF full size simulator. I know the many of You have huge knowlege and experience from your diy projects and i hope i can count on your help and maybe I can help You from my experience from my past project e.g. CNC milling machine project.

    Greetings, Michał

    Welcome @Michał.

    The FAQs are a great place to start your project research: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Here is how to build a working model: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/build-a-working-model-to-test-your-design-ideas.216/

    And existing 6DOF projects: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/6dof.22/category

    You can even build your own actuators to power your rig: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/diy-linear-actuators.248/

    We have a glossary for all those acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Feel free to ask questions on your build thread, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Good luck with your 6DOF model and motion sim projects.

    @noorbeast thanks for reply,
    now i start 2DOF project, i already have two DC 24V 120W motors, arduino mega and IBT-2, i plan to build my own actuator from HTD timing belt. For now the biggest problem is connecting sofware to arduino and understanding arduino code. I wonder what is the best and easiest way to connect software to hardware (motor control), is it arduino? Is Arduino able to control 6DOF?

    Hi everybody,
    I am also a new member here. I am also a Noob when it comes to electronics.
    I am attempting to build a simulator 2DOF with a gear, arduino and sabertooth.
    I hope to learn enought in this forum to everything without problems.

    Welcome @redboom.

    You have come to the right place, there is a really active community here who freely give of their time and expertise.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    This is the FAQ Arduino section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino.6/category

    And some Sabertooth code changes so it works with the popular SMC3 code and utility: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...nd-windows-utilities.4957/page-54#post-115532

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    Hi,
    I am from Spain, I am a owner of a 5D cinema from and a Motion Sphere from AET. I would be charm of share information or films experiences with any other owners. I would like "advice" for films, if anyone could help me, please send me a private message.

    We have a specific thread for commercial simulators @jonyt22, so post and questions you have there: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    I have not heard of anyone else owning a Motion Sphere from AET.

    Motion driven video capabilities will be introduced with SimTools 2.0 with the creation of the Video Ride Player/Creator, a Ride, Capture and Create system for 5D style video rides: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-question-and-answer.8175/

    Hello all, long time guest and reader but getting to a point of being able start my own racing sim. Really like the way this forum is set out and even though some of this is quite technical stuff, theirs a easyish answer out there.
    I'm from central Victoria, Australia. Couch pc racer and massive motorsports fan. V8 Supercars, Tcm, f1, gt sports, legends. Ideal sim for me to build would be 2dof with slide/traction. Looking forward to asking a few questions and trying to answer a few more. My back ground is in building and fabrication, not computers and programming that's for sure.

    Hello
    I am a newcomer in the world of simulators
    I recently started building a 2DOF simulator
    I am from France, I am a civil servant and obviously, simtools will allow me to run my simulator in the right way.

    I'm on the PCSHM forum and it was from there that I heard about simtools.

    I would post in the section concerned, the first photos of the construction of the simulator

    have a good day

    bonjour
    je suis un nouveau venu dans le monde des simulateurs
    je commence depuis peu la construction d'un simulateur 2DOF
    je suis de france, je suis fonctionnaire et visiblement, simtools va me permettre de faire fonctionner mon simulateur de la bonne manière.

    je suis sur le forum PCSHM et c'est de là-bas que j'ai entendu parler de simtools.

    je posterais dans la section concernée, les premières photos de la construction du simulateur

    bonne journée

    Hello everybody!
    I'd like to manufacture a racing motion simulator, and registered with here.
    Use of SCN or the actuator equal with that is considered in a steel case of 3DOF as the plan.
    I'd like to learn and go variously now.

    Hi. I am new here. Sign up x simulator to work with my final year project. The question might be simple, but how to export data from game into excel? Because i just interest with the speed reading. Thank you.

    Welcome @Muhammad Afiq Rafiqin.

    As this is the welcome thread it would be best to start your own project related thread here to ask questions: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-building-q-a-faq.31/

    But please first read the SimTools documentation, so you know how it functions: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Understand how plugins are created: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/how-to-write-a-plugin-for-simtools-api-documentation.131/

    And how GameDash functions: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/gamedash-settings-tips-and-tricks.21/category

    I am still in a state I do not understand but I will gradually learn.
    It seems that it will take some time for production yet.
