    My Motion Simulator:
    3DOF, Arduino
    Hello, my name is Thomas.

    I just started building my 2 or 3 DOF Race chair (Have not made a decision yet) First i`ll start of smal with RC servo`s just for exploration purposes , a few days ago i made my first working prototype 2Dof race car.

    A simple setup quickly made with the 3D Printer (got to love that machine) it is a platform that fits my Mini-Z rc car body just for esthetics, two small revo`s one arduino Duemilanove With some script i found on this site for two servo`s

    It is running on LFS for now, bud it gives me a opportunity to see and learn how everything is working within SimTools and i can make mistakes in a safe environment.

    The next step for me is hooking up a 3Dof Test chair, still working out the kinks bud i`m getting there here is my first design.

    with this design i made the chair directly on the triangle, lets say the traditional way,,, after a while the thought came to me about lowering the seat becouse of the weight momentum the seat wil have in 1:1 scale.
    so i made a nother concept.

    This way the RC simulator becomes more compact and the center of gravity is lowered, my hope is that this will lower the torque and power the motors wil use when everything is upscaled to 1:1.

    when everything designwhise is proper i will upload the STL files for community use here and on Thingiverse.

    Remember, this is just for me to learn in small (Safe) scale ,, ill keep you posted about new developments.
