Showroom Smitty's Rotary Servo 6DOF build (WIP)

Hi, yep I think I have it all worked out. Won’t really know for sure until it’s built. Basically the one thing I had wrong was the angle setting on the thanos should be 180, I had put in what my rig was going to use. But flypt will handle the endpoints.

another buddy build! Are you making two of them?

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear because the Thanos is what I am going to be using.

Eventually we will make another but we are gonna do 1 as a prototype first. He is doing the building(welding cutting, grinding, etc..). I will be doing the programming/computer work.

Look forward to the completion of your build.. It is looking amazing. Wish you guys had more time to dedicate. I do hate waiting for updates to awesome things.

A few more pics. We finished building the other 2 servo cabinets. I found that a couple sets of spark plug wire markers work great for tagging all the cables! Much nicer than labelmaker stickers.

also started to draw in some fans for wind simulation. Using 24v seaflo 4” fans. (24v because that’s what the ffb joystick is using) Now that the frames are almost done welding, the mount tab for these will probably be the last extra thing before paint.

I like that rack, plenty of space for proper cable management!!!

A little more progress.. I took home one of the bases to finally start mounting some servos.


Meanwhile at the shop we did the first “motion test”!!

Started cutting the main crank arms. Also got the wind fans programmed and running. Details on that are at: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-wind-arduino-sketch.14425/page-3#post-237340
