2DOF Trimension Swivelchair – first questions (German)

Oh nooo. Such a small stupid mistake. I read it with mode2, but not correctly understood. Hours troubleshooting - solved in 1 second. I am such a noob

Thanks for the hint. You are my HERO

I did the same thing. I only understood when I was the Arduino code.

It happens

Now found a short time to get a piece further next Step:

Wow looks like you're getting some really nice movement with it. Glad to see it in action with a successful test!

Thank you. Only time is the limiting factor

As guide: pictures of the ground isolation - FEBI Bilstein 37619

Update:

Everything attached to the chair, bent a threadedrod, threadstretcher to precisely adjust the position.
Testdrive is coming soon

Oh man you can't tease us like that!!! Everything looks put together and ready to move, what's left to make a video?

Do you have any protection for runaway motors if the potentiometers fault? I'm guessing if that happens the motors will just stall against the mountings that hold the pots.

Love all the small attention to detail, looks so good! Are those circles covered in vinyl or are there cooling fans or something there?
Looking forward to the video!

Thanks for feedback. There is still a lot to do, but at least it works. So here is the first test. Still without finetuning.

For the motor protection I still have to do something. Definitely a killswitch and a temperature monitoring with shutdown for the motors.
Whether the Motors are too hot I can not say yet. If necessary, I will install coolingribs. Ventilation cooling without coolingribs is not efficient. We will see

The metal parts are covered with shrinksleeves ( in German: Schrumpfschlauch ) and do not rattle. How durable is this, I'll see ..
The movements are not as high/big as with some other simulators, but it should also be a lightweight. To move it around und should not need a whole room
So next to do is a fastening down to a rotationring, which then makes the turning/rotation-movement over a motor.

Am I understanding this correctly - you are making this into a 3DOF by adding a yaw axis under the chair?

Yes, I think about it. Have to find a suitable solution

Are the Motor enough strong for a 2 DOF ?

CU

Strong enough is relative. Depends on the stroke you want to realize. The motors are OK - standard. Not stronger than other wipermotors. I think there are certainly better motors for larger applications.

Rotationring - We'll see what's going to happen

Doing the rotationring mount and a wipermotor with a Module1.5-gear. A potentiometer and emergency stop. There is still a lot to do.

...and the video. Everything has yet to be brought together. Sometime

next step.
Now mounted the ring with the chair. Also done a connection-terminal for Power and USB.

Get today a bit further. Build the X56-Stick in a more compact format so that it can also securely and stably attach to the armrest. More coming soon... i hope

a short vid:

The stick is mounted and is also stable. Have installed a potentiometer to set the rotary movement not only by software but also manually. Going well so far.

I dared to the X56 Throttle to reduced the housing significantly. It was not that easy, because the mechanics need a lot of space and there are a lot of boards in it. Was a bit more elaborate than expected. But now it fits. Some buttons have been dropped, but I have 6 (4 fingers / 2 thumbs) integrated new buttons in the small case. Made a short video with a small project review.
