    Hi! Im planning my first ever simulator build. It is going to be a longterm project and just now i am trying to gather all parts for it. The idea is to build my rig mostly of used parts from scrapped industrial machines.
    My economy is not that good at the moment so i thought it would be a fun and challenging project. I have started to build some electronic based of the stuff i gathered so far. Here are some pictures of it.:) IMG_20210829_111631.jpg IMG_20210829_111638.jpg IMG_20210829_111649.jpg IMG_20210829_111703.jpg IMG_20210829_111711.jpg

    looks like you have frequency drives and ac motors ?

    not sure a frequency drive will allow you to control for positional feedback

    Thanks for your reply. I thougt it will be possible to use them because they were used in a similar way in the machines they came from. This is what the connection schematic looks like. VSminiwiring.png VSmini1.png VSminiwiring.png VSmini1.png
