    My Motion Simulator:
    Arduino, 6DOF
    Hi all. This is the progress on my first attempt at building a motion rig.

    6 dof using brand new mercedes wiper motors ( till I can get DC motors and gearbox's, 2 arduino uno r3, either 6 or 3 Ibt-2's ( think Im gonna use 6 to cut down on overheating ), still tryin to work out psu's. Anyone got any IDEA'S for power? Im gonna run 12v. Ive also got 6 3/4" allthread pushrods 20" long (not pictured) to go on. Anyone got any idea's for affordable "HEIM JOINTS" for the pushrods? At 3/4" they get a little pricey Im finding out :).
    Gonna us it mostly for flight sim but gonna mount some racing pedals and have a detachable T300 for it as well (not pictured) thats not how Im gonna have the monitor mounted ( just temp). 20220214_214157.jpg 20220214_222208.jpg 20220214_222208.jpg 20220214_214843.jpg 20220214_214236.jpg 20220214_215141.jpg 20220214_214817.jpg 20220214_215141.jpg
