Showroom first 2DOF Seat mover

Hello
I begin the construction of a dynamic simulator 2DOF in seat mover

I started off a bit to understand the basics of building a simulator.

But with help, I was able to start sketchup implementation of the simulator elements.

Here are the first steps of creation


I saw with my entourage to recover the maximum of materials and I ordered the rest on the site of Wanegain and Willaupuis: simukit

I now expect to have everything in my hands to advance, even if I attacked the wooden base.

I already have conical spacers made hands

On the other hand I do not understand what can bring the fact of turning by 90 ° the support of the top.

It may no longer be in line with the crank and the connecting rod

He's true, it's better to have brackets and ball joints on the same side

And I would be obliged to take back part of my structure to have the place to mount the supports.

but if you can explain to me what it would be to win in this configuration ...

I see what you mean
As soon as I attack the assembly of the connecting rods and supports, I would test in both directions.

Thursday I go to my father and we will make the gimbals.

hi
the project progress

under the Microsoft wheel, my G25 is in the bag

Are those Bodine motors?

24V DC motors 25Nm from simukit.com

Good good good

following an error, I had to replace my squares of the top by longer ones

I do my cardan this afternoon and so I could finally fix the mobile plate to the low structure.

I will also prepare my cutouts for the front structure panel

I put a few photos as soon as I return from my father for DIY ...

This afternoon, cardan manufactured

The front flanks are cut and rounded on the top

It makes good, it remains to fix them

Received power supply, I test the engines and sebertooth this weekend

and the big loose of the day :

My father gave me the ball rod joints that he had left from a previous project.

But they are left hand hread ... I will have to find right threaded for continue the Project

My ball rod joints are ordered from a hardware store near me

I advanced a little the front part with choice of the pedal assembly !!

Either as standard or by disassembling and returning it

I have these days worked a little on the simulator:
Reception of some items ordered on the net or recovered by my brother.

I almost finished the front part of the simulator
It remains for me to make my grooves so that the steering wheel is adjustable
And fix my pedals (I hesitate to disassemble it to reverse the pedals)

Finally I almost finished the motor supports and the fixings of the mobile plate

All I have left are the rods and the universal joint. My salesman had a ski accident, it delays me at least 1 week

Good!

thank you
