    This is just a snapshot showing the location of the setting. Just put 30 as you can see there : https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/diy-2dof-simulator.4793/#post-45606
    I put 33A fuses between the power supply and the JRKs. They are only there to protect the JRKs.

    Ben yeni başladım. Minyatür DIY 2DOF simülatörü yapmak istiyorum. Nereden başlamalıyım? Kaynağı nerede bulabilirim?
    Lütfen Bağlantı tahtası ve arduino kod nerede?

    Please use Google Translate to English - I just started. I would like to make miniature DIY 2DOF simulator. Where should I start? Where can I find the source?

    You will find the FAQs are a good place to start for any question, including yours: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/build-a-working-model-to-test-your-design-ideas.216/

    I'm just starting to look into building a motion simulator. I really like the way this one is put together. Does anyone have a link to the aluminum bars/channels used for this? I like the way the bold together and that you can hide wires in it. Looking for the bars, caps and mounting fixtures to bolt it together.
    Thank you for any help.

    It is best to start your own build thread and pose your question there, with a link to this build for reference. That way all relevant information for your project is in one place.

    To answer you question there are quite a few different suppliers of aluminum profile around the globe. One of the bigger ones created MayCAD, a free easy to use design program to help sell its own products, but even if you buy the bits elsewhere it is still handy to deign a motion simulator frame and know what you will need to order to build it: http://www.may-cad.org/en/p1.htm

    Hi guys, (Coucou copain français ;) ).
    Excellent simulator, very nice finish.
    I think that a harness would be a good upgrade.
    This allows more comfort and the feeling is better with the small vibrations in the buttocks;

    I can assure you that the rendering of vibrations is already very effective. I will test anyway with a harness, just to amplify the feeling. Thanks for the advice.

    You download the demo version of SimTools here, which has the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed included for testing purposes: http://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-motion-simulator-software/

    Live For Speed from here: https://www.lfs.net/downloads

    See the FAQs for setup and tweaking information: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    Keep in mind there is a difference from SimTools 1.3 to SimTools 2 in setup in the Interface Settings instead of axis defined like this <Axis1> it now has designate grouping for a or b in SimTools 2 for each axis assignment, like this <Axis1a>
