Marki 3DOF With Winch - Sabertooth 2X60

Hi All ,
I work on a 3DOF For FlightSimulator, the principal utillity is for Condor 2,

My Config,
-3x Standard Winch 2000lbs 750W motor/1HP (153/1 planetary gears)
-2x Sabertooth 2X60
-2x Arduino Uno
Specs;
-12in Travel in Heave
-Allow 45 deg in Pitch and roll



Construction :
-3D printing for positionning feedback parts (Yellow)
-Laser cutting and CnC folding Sheets (Grey) After my built i will share the drawing and tuto to make yourself a command of lasercutting parts on a supplier)

In Blue its a 3DScan of my seat and me , you can see my big nose


See my Drawing image




















@Flymen

Troubles,
i succeeded to Connect The Ardruino and the sabertooth 2X60 on SMC3 with
@BlazinH Tuto, i Use the SPS_8.2 Soft Start.



I Resolve With @Flymen My first Trouble , To enable the connection on the Mover Output Serial , you have to close the SMC3 setup. i learn your com4 or others ports Cannot use with 2 application in same time

Now im blocked to Connect the Ardruino and the sabertooth To Flypt Mover


When i move the Simple Direct cursor , the Binary change at the bottom Output serial page , but the motor dont move?
Im direct on Flypt mover , i dont pass with Simtool . This is the Trouble ?

Many thanks

@noorbeast , Need info with the last question ?
Im direct on Flypt mover , i dont pass with Simtool . This is the Trouble ?
Thanks !!

Ps. I never received your post on my mail ( Alert ) here . I dont know why !

i explain my problem in video

@pmvcda

(P.s @Flymen you dont recieve the notification because my tread was blocked beacause i put a weblink to SPS tuto.)

My trouble is Fixed ! All work, i test with condor 2 game .

My trouble was, i fogot to put [ A < ] in output line [A<Axis1a>] .



I thought I could click and drag the axes, and it would work like that, but we have to add[ A < ] to work

Thanks to @Pierre Lalancette and @Flymen to help me!

Glad it worked.

I don't see any limit switch to your design. Is it something you thought about? It is quite important. I do not recommand to do any moving test without it, once the rig is assemble.

@Pierre Lalancette
Thanks for your recommendation.

I'm curious to know How you have connected your limit switchs?

I have planned a emergency stop with 200 Amp relay.
Does your limit switch cut the main power or you have another alternative?

Thanks

Limit Switch Drawing Done

The way I do it is a closed circuit in all the switches (5 volts) that drives one relay. This relay drives 6 relays (12v) that let the power goes to the motors. If a switch is triggered, the circuit turns open, there's no more curent to any relay and all stop.

That's my way.

My Wiring Diagram

(not tested)

Hi ,
Your power supply switching is 24 v dc motor 12 v dc ?
With your power supply 24vdc you can drop maybe at 18-19 v dc if you play with the potentiometer !
Don’t forget the batterie 12 vdc on your wiring Diagram .

My final and tested wiring for emergency

@Flymen

My project avancement

it looks good! like a LEM

Assembly is finish!

I had a terrible backlash as a problem, I fixed it by adding is elastic to keep the arm down and I widened the rodends in the top and centered my position



Now , my problem is the power supply, i use truck 12v batterie and standard batterie charger (25 amp). but when the battery is in charge , it smells of sulfur. im not sure that good for health . i need to change my power supply . any suggestion for 3x 750w motor DC in 12v ?

Hi ,

Here is the final result of my platform motion

it largely exceeds my expectations, contrary to what I thought it is silent !! and respond well to the little jerk like the rough terrain when I take off or the bang when I land! that's great!!





I fixed the backlash problem with 4 bolt here ,



and for the battery I reduced the leveler of my winck from 8 "to 5" now to draw 10 Amps continuously on the 12v. this is very good and my 25amp car charger is more than enough

i added Rudder pedals With arduino code

I recommend this platform to all of you! I am impressed with his performance

Great set up. Small and compact, all the opposite of mine.
Congratulation.

Nice Work !!!!
I’m waiting your invitation to try this new toy .

Hi Marki, I found your project looking for information on CONDOR SOARING SIMULATOR 2. I fell in love with it, congratulations! You have done a professional job! I am from Argentina and I have not found any builder who is fond of only flying racing cars. It would be an honor if you guide me to start my project. What type of motors do you recommend? I think it is the biggest investment in the project. Thanks for your time . Greetings!
