3DOF FLIGHT SIMULATOR

Hello. I'm from Manila Philippines and I'm just newbie here. I'm planning to build 3DOF for my flight simulator. Can anybody here guide me on where to find the exact motor that fit with my plan? Thank you and looking forward to a positive response.

@noorbeast Thanks for your quick response. The links you shared is very helpful. Anyways, my plan is for Flight Simulator and carry the load up to 80-90kls. I did a lot of searching but most of it didn't specify what exactly the specification of motors and the maximum payload. Do you have any links that similar to my plan? (Thank you)

Thanks for the links. Really appreciated

Finally, I’ve got received my items for my 3DOF Flight Sim Project. Thanks to @MilaniFabio project https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/new-diy-3dof-dynamic-workstation-project.13102/
and for some advises https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/new-diy-3dof-dynamic-workstation-project.13102/page-4

My project is about to shape. Here’s the list of components that I purchased. (It’s a bit expensive, but I’m sure it's worth it)

3 units GDM-10SC 300w-24-3000rpm with the final output speed of 50rpm https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...l?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.64.4cc64e18dFY3W9
1 unit Arduino UNO rev3 https://www.ebay.ph/itm/Arduino-Uno...755592?hash=item23c3ad1508:g:Xa0AAOSwos5dVxr5
2 units Sabertooth 2x32 https://www.ebay.ph/itm/Sabertooth-...006961?hash=item33f0c88bf1:g:Z~oAAOSwHSdcUyGw
2 units Power Supply S-1000-24 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32322666199.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.73b04c4dlMm95Q
3 units Potentiometer 10K
6 units Resistance 100w 6.8 ohm https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32872294703.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.73b04c4dlMm95Q

Hello guys,

Here's some progress with my project. Just arrived my lever arm together with flatform for the engine. I also bought used cross joint and ball joint. I just doubt my potentiometer 10k with 180 degrees will fit my project? any suggestions?

Hello, an update nor progress with my project. Temporary I place the potentiometer near to Arduino because my gears haven't arrived yet and to see if its work. But suddenly during the testing the motor 2 & 3 moving slowly, I guess because I haven't yet installed the plugins, I keep on searching but I can't get through coz I have a demo sim tools only. Is there anyone who can share plugins for Flight Simulator? (Thanks in advance). I also added female and male inline rewirable plug connectors for the motors itself, for me to easy detached the wire if I have to relocate my sim.

Hi Sir Noorbeast,

Thanks a lot for the links. Really appreciated Now I can fully test my engines

Having a problem with the simtools to communicate with motors. I already upload the code XPID_SimTools1_71_6motors_2x32_serial_UNO @Wanegain but the same problem encountered. I really have no ideas if this is correct settings. See the below photos for reference. Can anybody help me to solve this problem? Thank in advance.

Thanks for your quick response. I think I did the diagram correctly as seen below. When I started to turn on the device, the motor itself continuing to rotate. How does it happen?

Got it, but i usually intend not to mounted temporary to see if the motors actually move and if does the pots will not damage coz my potentiometer is not 360 rotation. Eventually, as i expected the motor rotate by itself and i cant control it thru the simtool.

Owww men, I've got it. Gonna try the link you've sent then mounted to the motors. Thanks...Thanks.. Thanks..

But how about this @Milani Fabio they did not connect the pot to the motors? but still, it's working.
