    Hard to say, as there are no detailed specs.

    If you are going to change the motors then it would be a good time to upgrade them as well to something like these, if you can find some with similar specs in your area of the world: https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/worm-drive-motor-12v-24v-200w-180-rpm-20nm-torque.html

    [QUOTE = "noorbeast, post: 201395, membro: 10786"] Difficile a dirsi, poiché non ci sono specifiche dettagliate.

    Se hai intenzione di cambiare i motori, sarebbe un buon momento aggiornarli anche a qualcosa di simile, se ne trovi alcuni con specifiche simili nella tua zona del mondo: https://www.motiondynamics.com. au / worm-drive-motor-12v-24v-200w-180-rpm-20nm-torque.html [/ QUOTE]
    the fact that it has 150 rpm should have a good torque?

    The 25:1s work great for designs rig designs with good leverage, like shoulder, knee and foot mount designs, I use those motors but with 60:1 for my compact rig, as torque is important for such a design.

    yes I understand but I didn't want to spend all this money. one question, I asked for the free license to be able to use the software with other plugins. but I have no answer. can you tell me something? thank you

    This is the eligibility criteria, as yet your thread and project do not show the rig being complete and ready for testing as per the second dot point:

    To qualify for a free license:

    • You must be building a true DIY motion simulator. (Not built from a kit or purchased from a simulator seller, a model simulator does not qualify.)
    • Have a unique build thread or Showcase in DIY Simulator Projects. (The thread should show some effort, which means it should show progress to the rig testing phase.)
    • Have been a member of the community for at least 30 days.

    [QUOTE = "noorbeast, post: 201401, membro: 10786"] I 25: 1 funzionano alla grande per i progetti di rig rigidi con una buona leva, come i design per spalle, ginocchia e piedi, uso quei motori ma con 60: 1 per il mio compatto rig, poiché la coppia è importante per un tale progetto.

    the ones I have now are 24v. i have 24v power supply and i am testing them with motomonster and it works without problem. yes, motomonster works up to 16v but it didn't give me any problems. I also tried fali to work with 12v power supply and they are fine all the same but I believe that with 12v they have less power right?

    I also reloaded arduino but it doesn't change. I noticed that on the motomonster board only the led of one direction turns on and dome if it does not have the reverse command. I also changed the card because I had another one. I also checked the wiring, but everything is correct

    I finally finished assembling the station. it seems to be working fine, but I have to adjust some parameters again to make it work perfectly. meanwhile, thanks to the forum that helped me a lot. then I will post the final parameters so maybe I can be useful to someone

    here is the test with the station. it moves a little too much so I try slowly to change something

    Great to see your rig in action :thumbs

    You are correct, sometimes less is more when it comes to refining a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Once you have a good foundation motion profile you can also tweak it it for particular effects, such as a bigger TC Min than Max for surge, to mimic gear change effects: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/snappy-gear-change-motion.121/

    I have to change the engines are too weak they can't move the person when I'm sitting. pity it seemed that I was finished instead I have to find good strong engines

    I did mention the importance of torque for compact designs in my earlier comment: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...f-dynamic-conversion.14910/page-2#post-201401

    SimCalc can be helpful in working out what motor specs are needed to drive a given design at a desired performance level: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...e-linear-speed-and-forces-of-your-design.270/

    I am in Italy but you know in Europe where I can get them. I have seen those in Australia but shipping costs $ 100 like engines. two engines and shipping is about 300 usd
