    Hello,
    Today is the day and I show you my Motion Simulator project.
    It is still under construction but I think it will be nice and slow.

    about history

    After I really like to play project cars on my xbox, I thought about building a motion sim myself.

    Yes I am very clear that I can only play with it on the pc but that does not really matter what :)

    It's not easy for me because I do not know all the electronics so well but I think I get it through the great help :)



    I still need a shaft coupling for the engines, potentiometers and ball-and-socket steering rods from the engine to the Thread

    now to the pictures.

    That's how my racing seat looked first

    So I started welding the bottom frame together

    This is how it looks now after painting

    both together. It has become a bit too high but I leave it for the time being and look how it behaves when it's done.

    I packed the entire electronics into an old racing tire. I think it looks more beautiful and is quite fitting.
    I did an old PC power supply for standard electronics. Thus, if necessary, for example, I have the right power supply for a led strip in the tire. In addition, I have 3 fans with built which also powered by the power supply.

    I built the buttonbox with the help of an old keyboard. The housing is some metal housing that I still had lying around.

    that was for the time being.
    I hope someone of you can recommend me which potentiometer I need and buy .....
