    But where will you stop it? Another crazy project ! My favourite simulator, strongly more ..:thumbs

    Mais ou s’arrêtera t' il ? Encore un projet d'fou !!
    Le 401 m'a tellement fait rêver qu'il a participé à me convaincre de me lancer !! (A mon niveau;))
    BRAVO et vivement la suite ...

    Hi @riton
    thank you for sharing your new project,
    as you mention for using your last AMC board
    could you please tell about your adaptor boards and electronics for using AC motors
    thank you friend

    yes, I will use this AMC;)
    3 DOF and 1 DOF for 360 ° rotation non stop
    1DOF another to simulate a harness for longitudinal strength, but that's for later.
    for potentiometer, I use PPC 27 MEGATRON mécaique 360 ° / 320 ° electrical

    probably the best available electronic
    for our simulators
    ;)

    I diagree, I would not spend that sort of money on a 2 DOF, I will stick with JRKS
    Even a 6DOF can be controlled with and arduino.
    If you like Tonics stuff, please use it though.

    My simulator works with AC motor and frequency converters.
    At the moment I do not know programming Ardruino cards.
    I do not have time right now to learn Ardruino cards and programing.

    Thanos card is "plug and play" his work is perfect for me, again, it is listening for requests.


    I do not want to be rude.

    I am not trying to be rude and for a 6DOF it is an option, but not overall for a simulator

    No one forces you to use these specialized motion controllers... You can stick to your j()rks for chair vibration... no worries.

    First test, first problem...
    Bad news today ...
    I plugged my new and very unfortunately it lacks torque motor 30.
    I have not checked the settings and tuning of the drive, but it seems to compromise.

    some times when I go fast on the sim, this puts the engine to do a strange noise and it becomes "soft" without being able to hold a charge.
    the display shows 5 A out.

    I just found an incorrect setting in my drive
    Nominal frequency 70Hz instead of 50Hz!
    it's better, I should correct the stall with the settings of torque at low speed

    Hi, Thanos. Good job.
    How many it will be cost?

    Regards,
    Ale.

    second test:
    engine power is a bit small
    but I mishandled the engine!
    I weigh 88 kg, I jumped and abused the engine by putting my weight on the cylinder as close to the cylinder.
    I can do unhook
    torque motor
    I need to finish the frame to really test properly in games.
    I am confident.
    I have some solution if I run out of power:
    put a spring, reducing the cam.
