Dream comes true- 2DOF + Traction loss -RIP

What will happen when I give 24V?

Or set the clipping limit to 0??

I have replaced the bended rod and want to try out with Life for speed again.

A big step further guys. Here is my first ride.

The 2dof is completely new feeling..



Because of some reason the traction loss didn't work anymore. Maybe I need a new IBT2 or something in the wiring is wrong.

Nice, Your upper frame is PRO, I wish You same on lower frame.
About IBT - I burn some 6 of them and now use 2 on one motor.
Now I have issues too on my rig but I will describe later when will be fixed.

You said that the join is to high, now when mowements is known - You can cut it to shorter one.

First ride done congratulations

Here you can see the problem of the ujoint, which has loosing any ideas ? The srew is 6x60mm for wood and high force.



Edit: can someone explain me the difference between heave acceleration and surge? I just zapped through the plugins and there are for racing games the force "heave acceleration" and is this the heave section of simtools axis settings? Or a extra2 or 3?

do you mean this?



Arielnac and early_m are both using wood. Thats why I am try wood, and is easyer for me to work with.

Yeah I know, but I thought, surge is for accelaration and not heave? But on the racing games plugins is like "pitch, roll, yaw and surge, sway, heave acceleration. Extra1 = Traction Loss" what does it mean heave + acceleration?

I mean is "Heave" in simtools what it mean with "heave accelaration":?

Hi
In Your temporary lower wood frame...
Fill the gap in joint suport by metal busching or plastik, hevy gum pipe...

What do you think about to fill the gap with hot glue?

Try tightening the screws in different directions, a bit vertical, maybe it'll help them limiting the rotation.

Try why not but is elastic, 3d printer could help

Have a Question how can I calcualte the best position or distance to to the ujoint?

Actual the ujoint is from the baste plate in a height of 32cm, the motor shaft position is 11.5cm height from the base plate the CTC is 6.74 cm and the horizontal distance from ujoint to lever 47cm.

Is there a online Linkage simulator, that I can simulate and find out by the range of 170 degree how far the motion can be? At the moment I am not satisfied for the surge effect. And as I mention before, I have to go with try and error. Cause I don't know how to make the design. The only constant are the lengt of the ctc. And I want a platform motion sim.

From weigt proportion You can say where the balnce point is, You can put upper frame on floor, put rear on weight measurement and seat on rig, read the weigt , same on front . exemple rear have 60 kg and front have 40kg ... if frame is 100cm long than 40cm from rear is Your balance.

Prototype 2.0

So after the first prototype with old wood from a computer desk I build the real deal with the materials chipboard and Multiplex mention before:


Stabilized with 2 additional M8 rods:


Add the pivot and ball bearings:


And the 3mm silent board at the ground plate:


Ujoint plus power supply and electronics:


And finally the full assembled in compact form:


to-do:

1. Replace the base with Alu profile or steal
2. Lower the ujoint because of risk fell over
3. Add stop when the motors is powered off so the sensor don't go over 180 degree
4. Cable Management
5. Add mechanism to fast holding the pedall mount in parking position, now it is an elastic band.
6. Houndered of hours fine tuning

First impressions of my ride in VR was unbelievable mindblowing. I figured out to have bass shaker working as well but they irritate me totally so I switch it off. I will go later only with engine RPM and road texture I think... but deactivate road bumps and curbs.. I can not go back.. first I try the wheel in a desk, can't go back to controller, then rig at 2010 and can't go back to desk, then 2021 VR and can't go back to flat, then bass shaker and can't go without, and finally 2dof plus traction loss an can't go back and have to refine the bass shakers.

In the video below you will see the whole sim moves forward and sideways. I am afraid to lock the wheels, because I think it can fell over what is your suggestion?

Hello all here.

After very many months I sat down again in my rig and turned a par rounds. In the meantime I have changed to fanatec and added stoppers for the parking position.

I bought some small anti-vibration mats at the hardware store and put them under each roller. And although all four rollers are locked, the movements are so strong that the rig moves further forward. Do you have any idea how I can make this mobile and stable at the same time?

I would like to ask 3 questions:

1. Do you think four of the wheelchair motors 250W could carry my rig including me? At the moment i have two motors in front for 2dof pitch and roll and 1 at the back for Traction Loss. I would add two at the back to share the weight and have finaly the lovely heave effect. Like the linear actuators, but with rotational output.
2. As I am using arduino uno and SMC 3, I am not sure if there are 5 PWM output, I am pretty sure, that tthere are 5 analog input for the poti.
3. If not may i can add a second arduino uno? And have in simtools 2 interfaces?

Thanks for you help

The startup current from the motors kill my circuit breakers/fuse when I switch on the power of the multiple socket.

Anyone Idea how to make a box for the switches?

If I use plastic box how to cutout? with tool like this one?:
