    Merci pour avoir mis l'anglais , j'ai finalement trouvé pour mettre les photos!
    j'ai fait quelque modif, j'ai fixé les barres antirotation, ça avance doucement, il me reste quelque trous!! et la fixation des vérins.
    j'ai acheté toute mes rotules sur ebay, le temps de tous trouver, je n'ai pas avancé bien vite!!
    à plus...

    Thank you for putting the English, I finally found to put the photos!
    I made some modification, I set the anti bars, we forge ahead slowly, I still have some holes! And the setting of the actuators.
    I bought all my kneecaps on ebay, the time to find all, I have not made soon!
    More ...

    Well done, Riton! :thbup:

    Your frame looks very cool.
    I hope you will get some satisfiing results. I think your construction will be quite heavy.

    Regards

    yes, that's
    I have seen on the forum a person who has made himself this system, I can not find the photos on the forum.

    I have problems to make the setting potentiometer, more professional
    I'm looking for a better way: accelerometer or pot with String Potentiometer and String Encoder Engineering Guide.....
    with a structure frex, why can not fix the potentiometer under the structure as the other simu?

    is what I can test the functioning of the relay just plugging the card and the potentiometer without actuator and compressed air?

    I did the wiring, but there is a problem
    When I plug the cable Clamp map velleman on the 0 of the card relay, relays don't move ?

    you have to connect (+) to all valves and gnd to the velleman gnd. Then wire a cable from each valve to a seperate port of the velleman.

    Note: the velleman does not output current! It just opens the port, to let the valves current pass through. The current (Power(+)) is connected to the valves!

    Perhaps you could make a photo of your assembly.

    Regards

    there is a difference between the wiring of the notice velleman and XSIM wiring, who connect this cable? clamp / 0 or GND / 0?

    I have seen on photos of other wiring that had connected on clamp?

    thanks for help

    Quelque jeux est-ce que tu veux utiliser pour mouver ton simulateur? L'approche est individuel.

    Comme est-ce que t'as connecté tes potentiomètres? (pas importante, mais il me interesse). Telecharge des images s'il te plait.

    Salut

    j'ai essayé Grid GTR2.
    lorsque je click sur send data de force sender, il ce passe rien, je n'ai rien du tout dans YODA.
    je n'ai rien non plus dans force profiler.

    mes potentiomètres sont bien branché, mais pas encore relié mécaniquement aux vérins.
    je n'ai pas non plus configurer les valve dabs la matrice, je ne sais pas comment faire avec seulement 2 distributeurs :(
    j'ai beaucoup de mal a comprendre :?

    je voulais essayer de me familiariser avec le soft pour avancer progressivement.
    je pensais voir des valeurs bouger dans yoda en démarrant un jeux.

    Avec GTR2:

    -Ferme Yoda, parce-que GTR2 as un 'plugin' dans le Force-Sender.
    -trouve la file [playername].plr dans le dossier de GTR2 et modifique Shared Memory=0->Shared Memory=1
    -Selecte GTR2 dans le dossier 'plugin' dans le Force Sender.
    -lance Force-Profiler
    -lance GTR2

    Voilá, c'est tout :D

    I'l est importante, que tu vaques le jeux quand ton voiture est a bouger, et que t'as seleté 'cockpit-view' dans GTR2!

    Salut
