    It is not perfectly aligned, but the gap is minimal compared to the schema.

    Yes for the first design.

    The second one is perfectly done.
    The vertical red line has to cut the blue segment in its center.

    Awesome job. I think this rig may have saved me some headache. I was thinking of doing a 6dof for my first rig and watching your videos showed me I can get the effects I want with two dof. Thanks a lot!

    Lavoro semplicemente superbo! Leggendo il post ho notato che sui monitor è presente una telecamera per Oculus Rift DK 2. Qual'è la tua impressione d'uso dell'Oculus al posto dei monitor con il simulatore? Grazie.


    Simply superb job! Reading the post I view the positional camera for the Oculus Rift DK2. What is your impression of dell'Oculus use instead of a monitor with your sim? Thank you.

    Un'altra domanda: se non ho capito male, alla fine hai installato:
    2 x 90ZYT-199-12-1500-F90-D11
    2 x Worm Drive Gearbox to Suit Industrial motors 60:1
    E' corretto? Potresti gentilmente postare il link per acquistarli?
    Grazie.

    Another question : If I understand it , in the end you have installed :
    2 x 90ZYT-199-12-1500-F90-D11
    2 x Worm Drive Gearbox to Suit Industrial motors 60:1
    It's correct? Could you please post the link to buy them ? Thank you.

    Grazie per l'informazione!
    Modello n° 11, giusto? 64 RPM and 30 nM? E' corretto?
    Se non ho capito male, su questo modello è possibile scegliere direttamente il motoriduttore 60:1.
    Grazie ancora


    Thanks for the information!

    I'm using #15 3200 rpm / 60:1 but #11 3200 rpm / 50:1 works fine to.

    Grande notizia (e prezzo :'( ...). :D
    Un'ultima domanda: perché hai utilizzato 12v e non 24V? Le correnti non sono troppo alte?

    Great news (and price :'( ... ). :D
    One last question: why did you use 12V and not 24V? The currents are not too high?

    Because I owned two of them and I wanted to use JRK 12V12.
    I set the JRK not to exceed a peak current of 30A.

    Perfetto!
    Io uso Sabertooth 2x25A. Credo che prenderò il modello n° 16 a 24V.
    Grazie ed ancora complimenti per il tuo fantastico lavoro! :grin


    Perfect!
    I use Sabertooth 2x25A. I think I'll take the model n° 16 at 24V .
    Thank you and congratulations again for your great work! :grin

    This was the project that got my friend and I excited about doing our first simulator. Of all the awesome and over the top sims Ive seen here this one is still my favorite. I really love all of your sims.

    Ciao Erwan960, una domanda: i motori che utilizzi (modello #15 3200 rpm / 60:1) sono isolati o sono necessarie modifiche per scollegare la massa dal case esterno?
    Grazie

    Hello Erwan960, a question: the engines you are using (model #15 3200 rpm / 60:1) are isolated or changes are necessary to remove the mass from the external case?
    Thank you
