    sur la photo 1 je vais refaire la fixation du volant a 45° plutot qu'a angle droit, ce sera plus joli, pour le reste c'est presque terminé.
    il manque aussi les barre antirotation entre le siège et la structure...
    a plus

    je n'ai pas bien compris la section hardware velleman vm110

    comment brancher les électrovanes sur la carte?
    je doit acheter le kit relais?
    http://www.velleman.be/fr/en/product/view/?id=361120

    si la carte VM129 est compatible et fonctionne pour alimenter les électrovanes, je vais l'acheter, ça fait plus propre au niveau des raccord

    Je pense comme ça:

    http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/uploade ... VM129_.JPG

    T'as un carte de velleman déja? Si non, tu peux avoir un interface avec transistor de moi. Sur cette carte il ya tout t'as besoin.
    Et on cette carte on n'as pas de souder les potentiomètres.

    salut

    Nice job.

    It has the looks of an industrial office chair with a windsurfer universal joint on the stem. I like it!

    What made you decide to use a cross support rather than a square platform?

    j'ai choisi un X comme support a cause de l'inclinaison des bras de vérin , incliné dans le sens de la croix.
    c'est aussi plus simple à réaliser, et plus stable.
    c'est aussi plus beau a mon goût

    et puis sans le vouloir, c'est un clin d'oeil a X sim!!

    sorry for my bad english
    thanks for the compliment
    I chose an X support as a result of the tilt of arm actuator, tilted in the direction of the cross.
    It is also easier to implement and more stable.
    It is also a more beautiful my taste

    merci pour le lien de cablage de la carte VM 129

    oui, j'ai acheté et reçu ma carte vellemen VM110.

    puisque cela fonctionne, je vais l'acheter.
    je te remercie pour ta carte a transistor, mais je n'ai pas le courage de cabler la carte , souder...

    si ça existe pour pas chère , je préfère l'acheter

    il n'y a pas de contrainte à utiliser cette carte relais? temps de fonctionnement...?

    Thanks for the link cable for the card VM 129

    Yes, I bought and received my card vellemen VM110.

    Since it works, I will buy it.
    I thank you for your card transistor, but I do not have the courage to wire map, welding ...

    If it exists for cheap, I prefer to buy

    There is no compulsion to use this card relay? Running time ...?

    i don't understand this: Et on cette carte on n'as pas de souder les potentiomètres.
    :wink:

    I modified the steering wheel support, some pierced hole on big plates.
    I also raise the seat to get a better position.
    I ordered the map relay VM129
    And I will soon buy a compressor 50 liters

    it is possible use this pot?
    (There is on the forum a system with a measuring tape )

    Potentiomètres 10 tours de précision
    429309-62 POTENTIOMETRE 10 T.10 KOHMS
    Tolérance : 5% TK : 20 ppm. Capacité de charge 2 W. Petites dimensions avec fixation centrale, Ø d'axe 6,34 mm. Fixation par écrou 9 x 0,75. Linéarité très élev ...

    or this is the best?
    Potentiomètres linéaire à glissière mono en boîtier. Sorties sur picots sur circuit imprimé. Caractéristiques : course : 58 mm. Capacité de charge nominale pour 40°C, 0,4 W (lin), 0,2 W (log). Tension d'isolation 500 VAC. Tolérance ±20%. Axe : 2 x 6 mm. Largeur : 72 mm.

    I doubt, we should take a potentiometer linear or logarithmic?

    I do not understand all that french. :eek:
    The kind of pot you need depends on how you are going to mount it. Multiturn requires some wires and pulleys for the mounting, a linear sliding pot needs rods and levers.
    Either way you need one with a linear characteristic, not logaritmic.

    EDIT: you should go for conductive plastic in stead of the cheaper carbon types. Conductive plastic gives more precision, less noise and do not wear our so fast. Buy spare ones in case you brake one.

    I need your opinion for painting my simu.
    What colors you see my simulator? Aluminum gray or black mat?
    Or another color?
