Step by Step... approaching to Thanos work.

Hola, me he enganchado a esta pedazo de máquina, después de tocar la máquinas tipo CNC y el vacuunforming, moldeo por vacio de plásticos.

Ya tengo los motores de los limpiaparabrisas, pero me estoy volviendo loco buscando las dichosas poleas, he encontrado algunas que se usan para puertas correderas, pero no se si son las mejores, donde las puedo conseguir en Madrid y cuanto cuestan. También me voy a poner con la electrónica, siguen siendo los mejores los Tronic's AMC motor motion-controller y el Tronic's DIY dual Mosfet H-bridge. Esta idea de los motores limpiaparabrisas se puede exportar a otro tipo de máquinas y son relativamente baratos, yo lo he comprado en desguaces La Torre por 15€, los cogí de un Micra.

Muchas gracias,

Hola danipe70, yo también estoy enganchado en la máquina Joyrider, por ahora tengo terminada la electrónica de Thanos y voy a empezar la programación del ATMEGA8535 con el PonyProg.
Dentro de poco, espero poder comprar todo el PVC, aunque aún no sé donde encontrarlo, vivo en Madrid.
En cuanto a lo de los motores, tenía pensado acercarme a desguaces la Torre, pero no sé si comprar de coches a 12v o de barco de 24v, que tienen mas par.
Lo de las poleas, tengo localizado el número de teléfono de Optibelt España, me han dicho que les llame y me informarán donde puedo adquirir poleas y correas por mi zona.
Si quieres su teléfono dímelo.

Mucha suerte y un saludo,

Questions about belts -
How do you use these belts without any tensioners? - something like this:

Do these belts stretch?
I did some calculations in SolidWorks - it seems that belt which is connected to middle frame (banking) should stretch by about ~8 cm.
Or maybe your frame deforms by that amount?

Hi Oscar,

I find myself in the same situation of yours. My wife is convicted that she will take me of this road...
I'm building the pcbs now, but when the large pieces come, i think i will need to finish soon to can sleep on the sim

Well, can you tell me if the AVR1.5 is the right one?
And the H-bridge, the 1.2b is the last one?

I know that you have searched and i've read all your post, but it was at 2008. These layouts are the best until now? Are they the latest version working? Well, i can mount it without explosions?
heheheh
Another thing, the AVR recives directly the signal of the computer or i need some kind of conversion?

Thanks a lot for your attemtion.

hi masutti,

you can read my thread... is up to date!!! (whit all layouts, partlists...)
have fun

Thanks a lot for the help Interview!

Now i'm begining to construct the pcb's. I have used the gerbers to create the inverse sprint image so i can use the light sensibilizing process.

Only 1 doubt, the size of the board (130mm x 95mm) as showed on the photos, is it right? Because the pdf images are smaller, around 120x90mm.

I have printed with 130x95 and tryed out with the ATmega8535 and the holes are very aligned. I will do the silkscreen printing on this weekend and if you have any sujestions, pleas post.

Below the files for someone else who may need the negative images.

Does anyone have the detailed plans for the Thanos sim. Checked all the links appear to be dead.

Hi,

In the above posts you mention that you strengthened the frame with 2cm PVC, I assume
your referring to the main support structure not the seating portion ??

Thanx and nice job av8tr
