Lalancelot's Rigs Experimentations

Hello everyone.
I did mostly redesign this week, because I getting close to the ending of the main mechanical part and I need to correct all the errors and last minute change I did.
I made my part that gauge the position of the actuator so that I can make fine adjustment without having to remove the gear of my potentiometer.


I redesign the bottom part for the limit switch to be in an angle so it clears the 45 degrees wheel part.


I removed the power surge diodes that were between the batteries and the Sabertooth as it seems not to be the right place for it. I need to put them between the PSU and the Batteries. My electronic is cleaner.


I placed my seat.


I was able to do so, even though I'm still waiting for may other part co come back, because I attached it to the pole with an climbing cord.



So, in a sense, nothing's prevent me to sit on it...

You do rock climbing? (OT, I know, but...)

No, I don't. I only do boulder inside. But it's already been years since I did some. Shame. I like that. For the real climbing, I'm scared of heights.

It's the same for flying and climbing: The further away from the ground you are the safer you are. But I know, it's not easy to explain that to your instincts.

Once again, I am a bit late in my schedule.

So, I SAT ON IT. I did my 2 first ride.
I'm still missing the last actuator part, but the two other are active.
Soon, we will move to calibration.

It was time to find a new design for my pedals as I have new rudders pedals and they don't fit with my present configuration. It's not done, but it is started.



Now, I need to test pedals position for the maximum comfort. I'm using hi-tech to do that:


I explain most of it in this video.



Totally unrelated. This is how their is still snow at my other house at Matane. It is a lot more Est and it received a lot more snow than we do here in Drummondville.

Ok, after some testing that was often really frustrating, I determined that was the height that my pedals were the most convenient. My carbon plate is ready to be add to the rig.


I hope I will have enough carbon tubes left to do a solid installation. I'm afraid I'll have to order some more.


My VR is ready and I installed the monitor on the rig so I can adjust games and setting while seated on my rig. Since it blocked the bases for the VR, I change the bases position.


My other base is there. I have tried so many configurations that my walls now look like Gruyere Cheese.


This is the testing I did to determine the right pedals position. Yes, that part can be a pain in the...
