    Hi Guys,

    I just want to show you my little 2-DOF Motion Rig which is movable because i use the Seat also as my Seat on the Desk.
    I used the Arduino Code from Racingmat you can get here: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...bertooth-using-simplified-serial-working.136/

    Here are some Pics:

    First in working mode:

    [​IMG]

    The steering Wheel is a OSW Kollmorgen AKM53G on an Argon Box from Dennis Reimer and its mounted on a Fanatec Table Clamp, which works really well.

    [​IMG]

    So i can easily mount it an the side of the Desk when i´m at work.


    Now some pictures of the Motionseat and the mechanical part:

    As you can see, the pots are directly mounted to the gearbox without any transmission.
    But i have some new 10k Hall effect Pots here and some gear wheels.
    Also some new, more powerful motors, when i will upgrade my Simulator, i will keep you informed with some new pictures.

    Yeah...and thats why i will build a completely new one next year ;)
    But for my first Simulator 2 DOF had to be enough.

    Very nice work :thumbs

    The top rose joints really should be rotated and mounted 90 degrees, like the bottom ones, to avoid potentially binding.

    Thx for the hint,

    Hopefully i understood you correct (I'm Not a native english speeker).
    You mean to mount it like the bottom ones to avoid contact with the top aluminium holder?

    Thats no problem because the rod is vertical on the maximum displacement when braking.
    Or did i missunderstood you?

    Yes I do mean to mount it in the same orientation plane as the bottom joint, as it can rotate without binding.

    You can dial in a little bit of heave on a 2DOF, will really add to the immersion.

    Exactly what I tried to mention...may I respond in German for once (again): @manzes82: du kannst ausser YAW alle "Kräfte" auf einen 2DOF verteilen...

    Ah ok, jetzt weiß ich was du meinst.
    Ich hatte schonmal ein kleines bisschen Heave integriert, muss aber sagen, dass mir das gar nicht so gefallen hat. Das war aber vor der Oculus Rift. Ich werde es auf jeden Fall nochmal testen :thumbs

    I just had integrated heave a few weeks ago, but it was not what i expected. But with the Rift i will give it a try again.

    Thx for all the hints and tips. :cheers

    SimTools tuning needs a lot of time and try and error to get the best of movements. Despite of this I changed many times my settings depending on my personal preferences and game and track and day and injuries and neck pain etc :)

    Totally impressed!!!
    What a great setup!
    I also changed my chair and bought an adjustable chair from FlexiSpot Coupons.
    The chair is too comfortable that I can sit on it for hours.
