1dof sim bench top test

Hi guys. i have been reading up on building a sim for awhile but was put off after seeing people having issues with oculus internal gyro always thinking your moving your head and not working for motion sims. I had an idea to make a sim that just slides back and forward. As far as i know the oculus internal sensors wont see that and if the cameras are mounted on the rig and move with you then they wont notice. Im hoping to get a good back and forward punch for things like cluck drops and crashing into stuff.

I have never really done anything like this but i have seen people build small scale ones with arduino. Im a fitter machinist and fabricator so i will have no worries making the rig itself but no idea how i will go with the software side. i thought a benchtop RC servo driven version was a good test and practice before i start buying parts and materials. At the moment im just looking into getting the ardino to work with sim looks. So far my adruino knowledge consists of blink

Plan to put any updates and progress i make here. I cant contribute much on the electronics and software side but hopefully can on the mechanical and design side

Thanks. I was planning to use that as a guide to get me started. I have been doing a fair bit of reading on here over the last few months but hadent made an account so I'm on the wait for a diy licence hopefully. Might just start building my frame anyway and hope I can figure the software when I can get it haha.
