    Hi all!

    I'm building a motion platform for racing, like this:
    g7tBM4y.jpg

    It will have 4 actuators, each one in the edge of the platform.

    The mechanical and eletrical part I already have:
    -Arduino;
    -4x Actuators;
    -4x IBT2;

    And now I'm just searching for the software(for arduino) to control it and the wiring diagram!

    I'm new to the forum and spend 2 days searching but couldn't find what I need.

    Can anybody give me a light on the end of the tunnel? :)

    Thanks in advance!

    The actuator is one of the products of my company.. the specs:

    DC 24v Motor - 15A max.;
    Speed 110mm/s
    max load: 200kg
    the position reading is through a Hall Sensor (same reading as a normal potentiometer)

    So i think the standard "wiper motor wiring" should work well.

    The IBT2 is a H-Bridge that can support up to 43A and I will use it for the drive the motors!

    Thanks!

    Yes! Thats the reason Im planning to port it to motion simulators, at least in Brasil is not easy to find this kind of actuator..

    Hello matstumpf.
    200 kg 110 m / s? here in Europe is not easy to get them, you can give more information about these actuators ?.
    The IBT are good but I would put pololu, and you play it safe.
    Will follow up your project.
