2DOF low cost motion platform for Rfactor 2 and GP Bikes

Merry Christmass to all, finished the final wiring, defenitely need a thermo retractable gain to enclose all the cable but no store open until monday, so it will be tape now hihihii

As promised, here are the stl and fusion 360 files of my enclosure for Arduino Uno R3 + 3 IBT 2 BTS 7960 motor driver. The cover is for a standard 120 x 120 mm PC case fan.
Feel free to add it to the FAQ 3D printable item if that could be usefull for other.

I made a new thread here on the 3D Printing section to make it clean if you want to post it in FAQ :

Hello, my wiper motors is definitely not powerfull enough, so i think i'll buy a 12 DC motor, my problem is that in my country i can't access to the common store to buuy motor, i can only buy on amazon.fr and when i search for 12v worn motor this is what show up, and i'm really confused what can suit for my need.

My rig is a 2DOF seat mover shoulder mounted with IBT 2 and a 12V30Amp

I found this one, i can choose rpm and it's not expensive, but i don't know if it's powerfull enough
this

I'd guess absolutely not. The motor is only 57mm long.

Ok thanx chris, i'm trying a Bus wiper motors now, if it works i'll stay with wiper, the motor is way more powerfull on a 200 Ah batterie, but my question is can i change the battery at the same time as i play ? the charge voltage is 14 Volt so i don't know if the IBT 2 will support that voltage

@Chris_Beeves how did you patch the gp bikes plugin ? it always say "the selected path is invalid for patchin" i trye the steam / steamapp/common/gp_bikes and document/piboso/gp_bikes none works

You can charge it without problems unless it’s a very brutal charger. 14V is perfectly fine for the ibt.
Bus wipers sounds very good!

Are you using Simtools v3? The old v2 plugin doesn’t work for newer versions of GPbikes. We developed the new plugin for v3 only.

Ah ok, installing simtools 3 now, it s totaly different so i need to check how it works, thanx @Chris

I'm trying to configure gp bikes with simtools 3 beta but i don't have correct motion it just randomly roll on one direction and randomely go to center, nothing to do with my bike, here are my setting :

Oh, good! Then you got it moving!

You are using roll velocity rather than roll. (I'd use sway instead of roll though.
And Pitch instead of Pitch velocity. (Here I'd use surge instead)

I'd use this as a start:



(Rel. pitch is the same as wheelie)

Put values in one at a time and make sure they are in the correct direction.

Don't use Axis 3 yet. That'll have to wait until your third motor

Now it isn't moving anymore , i've test just surge and there is no motion

You have to set min/max values first.

Easiest way to do that is just click capture and write the values manually.
For roll you can use +-60
pitch +-10
Sway and surge +-1
Then click save. Then it should move.

Thanks Chris, in fact I forgot the "]" in the interface outpout, now it's moving correctly, time to tune it now, it's lot of fun even if im still riding a bike with a car wheel and pedal, hihihihi

That's a nice error!

Motion is fun! The feedback really gives another dimension.

How’s the tweaking going?

Happy new year !
I'm having too much fun, the Bus wiper motor was way more powerfull but i need to find the exact same to replace the remaining standard car one, but with some tweak in SMC 3 , i manage to balance the two motors.
I've migrated all my sim to simtools 3 beta but I don't know why Dirt Rally 2 have way less motion than when i was in Simtool 2 , still tweaking but now i'm having fun with Rfactor 2 wich is i think the best of all my sim in term of motion transcription.
