2dof to 3dof DIY Seat mover

Paul, If your interested, Im going to have 4 spare LFE mount's that your more than welcome to a pair of them to try out what ever you want to try. Obviously cover the few $$ in post but the option's there for ya.

lmk

probably a stupid question, but do you have photos of each mount , pointing out the one you are now using?

Are u asking me or Roonster, Dave ?

Sorry, I mean yourself @Nick Moxley .

Socket Directly into the Seat Bolt, Gamer 2 on socket. 7/8 deep socket to be exact lol

INTERESTING, MY 2 AURAS SHAKE MY SEAT OK AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY ARE NOT NEARLY AS STRONG AS THE BUTTKICKERS.

SORRY MY CAPS ARE STUCK ON.

Off topic, how are your power supplies holding up? I think I still need to tame my profiles a little, my supplies will kick off in a crash or rough stuff. If my motors were overshooting I think it would give me a jrk error right?

Instead of just shorting my p.s. pins I ran wires from them pins up to toggle switches by my wheel and make the short there so I can power up motors or shut them down easily. Happens to make it really easy to reset my ps when they kick out, just wondering how yours have been.

@jem45472 , can you send me your screen shots of JRK utility settings? We can advise there if something is amiss.
Cheers, David.

Hi Dave dont want to sidetrack Nicks thread too much, but these are the settings Im using as per your instruction.

http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/newbie-with-2-dof.5362/page-4

with these changes
In utility
PID period increase to 20 ms
intergral limit to 5000
analog samples to 512

Game engine settings.
HW start 10ms
packet rate 20ms
HW stop 10ms

I have other photos of setup in my build thread.

Everything seems ok other than random ps shutdowns when things get rough. Im probably just running over aggressive profiles.

Was just checking with Nick as we have nearly identical hardware setups. I

Oh, sorry, my mistake, maybe fiddle with profiles then, try adding boundary to the overall force in the axis assignment.
PSU may be getting overdriven, I will check your thread to see what you are running.

Looks like the psu are either not supplying enough amps, in this case change the jrks Max current to 30-35amps and test, if this is not the case then the current being feedback from the jrk , which happens when its in freewheel movement it does this because its designed to use this energy to recharge the batteries , remember this is a controller designed for robotic use. So in order to capture this charge I use a dc battery wired in parallel with the psu. Another bonus my Dc Battery can deliver 50AMP HRs so it too can back up the psu if the jrk wants to draw hard.
If you are pushing the Jrk hard , a decent power source is needed , indeed.

Hey Jem, Aside from when i was testing with the upped voltage, I have yet to have a PS shut down at all. I will check your Setting's to my Setting's when i get home later.

Got buddy's motor's all prepped. Pot mounting went well i think, allows for some deflection and its nice and sturdy.

Sorry Jem, didn't get a chance to check out those presets you posted. If they were based on what Dave or Robbie told you they technically should be the same as mine. I haven't played with any of the motor power setting's or anything. The only think i tried was what robbie suggested which was the Max Current and once i realized the pots to adjust the voltage weren't going to help I went back to 0 or Unlimited and have never had an issue.

Got a Diagram on how to hook up a DC battery in conjunction with a PSU ? Future reference more than anything. Thanks bud

but remember to disconnect the wires from the battery from the power supply when not in use as battery will feedback into the power supply.

IF i have any shut down's ill look into it. thanks dave,


Should get some MORE shake Now lol

A woman would love to sit on your sim, oops keep it out of the gutter , Robbie.
Sweet, cant wait to see a video of the other motors running , got me on the edge of the chair waiting.

cows....they are all cows............

In OZ all those Buttkickers would cost more then my whole 4 motor sim.

Wow prices are really high over there SeatTime, whats a Gamer 2 go for over there ? Or is it the Shipping, taxes and Duties that bring up the price ?
