Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Can't agree more! I'm still finishing my actual rig (static though) and already head full of ideas and excitement about building new one - 2DOF seat motion (to my understanding from discusions here is the most convenent way to start for DIY newbie as me.

Just beware the more you read the more you find that need to read more

Hello all 'xsimulator' enthousiasts!

I've just registered to this forum after a week of reading and viewing the whole forum . Let me introduce myself;
My name is Arno (nickname 'EntonoX') and i live in The Netherlands, i'm in the IT business and right now i'm running a small Track & Trace company. I've been playing racing games in the past and then i'm talking about way, way back (anyone remember Stunts 4D from 1990?) oeps, getting old
I'm having some extra spare time right now (sold my real car) and want to build a 2DOF seat mover to play with Asseto Corsa. I looked after many designs and i'am going to use a Arduino - Monstermoto setup. More details next week as i'm creating my own project topic

Hello.. I'm a new member here.. I'm from Brazil, and i'm making a cockpit with a tm1638 dashboard.

Thanks @noorbeast, got some decent plans already and collecting some parts But i wont spam these in here. Next week i'll create a project topic.

Hello everyone
My name is Chris, and I am from Bolivia, I'm working on 2 projects simulator, 2dof normal and 2dof 360-720, will upload photos later.

Regards

hey guys,

i'm french and a registered member, i don't remenber if i introduced myseflt.
i'm using a dashboard with symroject, i'll see if i can use it with simtool or use a canbus cluster.

Hi
I am a new member
Working with the project 2dof
You proposed to give

Hello All,

I am just starting to work my way around the site. I am looking for ways to extract data from a simulation and use it with an arduino.

Hi everyone, my name is Kyuyong in Korea.Knowledge about action is rudimentses.I want to know a lot of truths.Language mutual understanding is learning gradually in automatic translation machine.Thank you.

Hello,

My name is Patrick in Belgium (Charleroi).

I am a teacher in a technical school in the high school and the bachelor's degree.

It's been a few years that I want to do fun projects but nevertheless techniques with my students, to engage in a project, and also promote our education fairs and other events.
In June 2015, on the occasion of the release of Star Wars 7 I realized with the help of some colleagues, an R2D2 scale 1: 1
Then, being pinball collector and wanting to make a fun project where students could participate from A to Z, in January 2016, we started working on a Pincab.
For next school year, I would like to start building a driving simulator that I would realize again with students.

I am also a new user. I was actually using x-sim but I found it very difficult to use so I've come over to simtools to get her working.

Already half the battle was done quickly, now I just have to connect my memory addresses and I'm good to go.

Building a VR motion platform.

hello people!

This is my first look at motion simulators. Right now I am working on controlling a fan to play project cars with my oculus rift.

I am trying to do the cheapest project possible just to learn how the Simtools software works.

I have some experience using the Arduino, serial communication and electronics.

Right now I have speed control of an AC fan using a 20A SSR using digital output from arduino. I am going to have output states changing the on and off delay of the SSR in 16ms increments to skip phases. it makes a little bit of noise but I have about 10 speed steps and other than the noise it works OK. This makes the assembly dead simple by skipping phases rather than late firing like a dimmer because I do not need zero crossing to sync the arduino.

Now I just need to get a speed value from project cars to a variable on the Arduino. I need to buy coins to purchase the plug in for project cars, but can someone else tell me if it already has speed mapped to an axis?
