    Hello all,

    I just got 2 SNC6 and a LOGYKAL control box as a present and I'd like to upgrade my fixed simrig (alu 40*80), are there any drawings, tutorials, todo lists (and NOT todo lists) and so on ?

    Thanks for the help

    Thanks a lot for the reply but at the moment I'm still in hardware mode :)

    How do I attach the SCN to my rig ? Do I need to make a subframe ? Can the actuators directlmy push on the floor or is it better for them to have some "feet" ? And so on :)

    Depends on what you want. With only two actuators, you can only build a 2dof system like a seatmover without heave. So you should google first or read many Projects here, before we can help you for an direction.

    A shoulder mount design is most commonly used for a SCN powered rig, here are a few examples:

    But there are many more to projects to search through for inspiration: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site:xsimulator.net+SCN+2dof&ia=web
