360* - degree rotation

Hello, friends !
Here one project decided to experiment:



Now is time to connect the Arduino and the H-bridge...., and I need your advice;
- How would you advise to connect such a device to be able to "remap" the rotation of the platform or on the pedals or the steering wheel (depending on run games)
Thank you.

you bought that chair?

So the above video is your product?

I think he's doing the DIY way inspired by the commercial video

good start! where does this central gear come from? how much is it worth?

You're right, it's DIY-roto, all parts I use from the car scrap ))),
- plz. look at the attached photos and you will understand everything:


I need your advice on how I can connect Arduino and H-bridge to the platform rotates depending on running games ?

Thank you.

Ok, but what actually are you trying to build? Note FI. Simtools does not support a full 360 degree axis.

In fact, as yobbudy told once, Simtools can handle 360° because Simtools is only reading the games data value...

The problem is between Simtools and Motor driver: arduino code or else...
but maybe the new Math plugin function of Simtools V2 could help?

For virtual reality now very few good games .... and it is unlikely for these games have a ready plug-ins?
- But there is a plus, in the virtual reality is not clear in what position the body is in a horizontal plane .... so you can connect resistors from joysticks to direct to the Arduino via the analog inputs - right?

But if ya was clever you could even use this to drive SimTools compatable games , by having two modes , either joystick interrupt driven or driven with an Ard motion code. Best of both worlds,
V2 will bring some exciting new things , like the possibility of using a chair like that watching a VR film clip with motion pre recorder (even created or modified) . A 5d (?) cinema experience. Thanks to @yobuddy s hard work.

I've added to your firmware support 360 °. One axis of 360 ° and the other 180 °.

Sorry, but can you explain what 360° problems did you address with your code changes? @Vladimir
Have you tested it so far?

The main pb in my opinion, is to prevent motor to make a full turn in wrong way when the game sends data like 350° followed by 5°
and I didn't seen that dealt in the code you posted

I made a model of the simulator with a 360 ° axis and the other 180 °.
This firmware does not support 360 °.

This is your modified firmware 360 °.

Here's another video, it can be seen better model. Only I forgot to start the visualization of the axes.

well done! are you using an encoder?

I used the Hall sensor 360 °: http://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Full-...sor-0-360-Degree-0-5V-Output/32422949989.html.
I think you can use this: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/tt-electronics-bi/6127V1A360L.5/987-1389-ND/2620658.

you have a continuous value?
I'm surprised the pot doesn't have any dead zone: have you checked it with an oscilloscope?

I liked your last video on youtube!

- Connect a standard motion base it's very easy, but with the project 360 * rotations I encountered for the first time ...
- Can you explain your idea in more detail please ...for example as if you connect such a device ? -and what does mean ARD-motion code ?

Thank you.

On my sensor is no dead zone.
To check it is necessary to enable the transmission of sensor data in COM port.

void loop()
{
int sensorL,sensorR;

readSerialData(); // DataValueR & L contain the last order received (if there is no newer received, the last is kept)
// the previous order will still be used by the PID regulation MotorMotion Function

sensorR = analogRead(potR); // range 0-1024
sensorL = analogRead(potL); // range 0-1024
//testPot(); // Можно посмотреть данные датчиков <-------- remove //
motorMotionR(motRight,sensorR,DataValueR);
motorMotionL(motLeft,sensorL,DataValueL);
}

Hands slowly twist the sensor.
I had the values: ... 5,4,3,2,1,0,1016,1015,1014,1013 ...
On the other sensors may differ.

I understand you correctly that there already have a software for 5d cinema, written by @yobuddy ?
- where I can download it for testing ?

Good news !!! Bravo !!!
- When the planned release of the program?
