    Hello, I am new to the forum, first of all I thank everyone for the valuable information they share, they make the world of simulation reach another level, thanks to all the information I have been able to build a completely homemade and quite functional cabin. steering wheel ffbb pedalboards seat and platform compact 2dof

    In this thread I will present the work of my platform and seat in another thread I will present the steering wheel and pedals in detail, the purpose of the publication is that ideas and information flow and if my project is useful to someone, even if it is motivation for start your own project

    - I started the work of the fiberglass seat for which I used a cardboard mold and covered it with resin. I attach some photos of the process

    - After taking some measurements and deciding I wanted my deck as compact as possible, I used some of the designs out there, welded the square tubes and the top and bottom profiles, puttyed the welds and then painted.

    - For the intermediate ball joint I used 4 bearings and welded two bolts crosswise, leaving a fairly solid ball joint

    - I wanted to have the electronics without taking up space, put everything in a box with refrigeration, try to make the wiring as clean as possible

    - I'm in tests and at the moment it meets expectations, then I'll upload a video

    Thanks for sharing your rig, you did a great job with the hand made fiberglass seat, I am really looking forward to the video update :thumbs

    What control boards and PSUs were used?

    Did those motors require ground isolation, what are their specifications and how do they cope under full load on a compact design?

    Thanks to you noorbeast I have read many of your contributions in different threads, I have used

    1 arduino uno R3 - 2 IBT2 43A – SMC3 I have been able to understand and make my project thanks to this thread https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/smc3-arduino-3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities .4957/ credits for the

    If you perform the insulation to ground, this motor had 5 cables, locate the negative and positive of the high speed with a multitester and disassemble the motor to disconnect the other cables, carry out the continuity tests with the casing to ensure that everything is fine

    So far the tests have been quite good, very good sensations, at first the balance point was poorly located in the seat. Install it slightly, further forward and not so reclined, significantly improving strength

    My weight is 70 kilos and it is going quite well. I will try with someone who is heavier and I will share details and a video
