3 DOF build

Hi all,

After seeing halloween2go build https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/full-frame-2-dof-traction-loss-new-build.14740/ , I'm making the jump to build my motion rig.

I'm ready to order parts, but just want to check with you guys if I'm not missing something

3 Crab pot motors
1 Arduino A000066 Uno R3
1 Rextin DC 12V 400W 33.3A Regulated Transformer Power Supply Driver
3 BTS7960 Motor Driver Board, IBT-2
3 6127V1A360L.5FS

I know about the POT coupler, but I will wait till I start the build to get the right ones.

Ok, so I started a small scale rig. I have cheap motors with encoder from amazon. I 3D printed some rod ends and a universal joint. Used fidget spiner bearing as rollers.

I also ordered a arduino Uno and IBT-2 that I will use for the final rig.

I am at a point that I need help for the wiring. Here is the wiring for the motors.
Red: Motor power + (exchange can control rotating and reversing)
Black: Coding power- negative (3.3-5V) polarity cannot be wrong
Yellow: Signal feedback
Green: Signal feedback
Blue: Coding power + positive(3.3-5V)polarity cannot be wrong
White: Motor power - (exchange can control rotating and reversing)

Red and white are easy to figure out.
Black and Blue to 5v and GND of the arduino
Yellow and Green, I figure one must go to the A0, but what about the other one?

Here are picture of what I have so far.

Motors

Little closer to the final test. After finding out that the encoders of the motors did not work with SMC3, I installed 10k POT with 3D printed brackets.

Completed the wiring, sorry for the rat nest, got to work on my cable management.

I did the the SMC3 test by RufusDufus and all motors work.

Hopping to test soon. Here are more pictures.

Hello all,

Finally got my PSU and motors.

Now I have a problem, when testing with the SMC3 utility, my PSU go in over voltage protection when testing with the motion. I have Meanwell NES-350-12 PSU. Would adding capacitor in parallel help? If yes, how do I need to wire this?

Thanks

I forgot to mention my setup

3 NES-350-12 PSU
3 Crab pot motors 180W
3 IBT-2 controllers

All the wiring is made with 10GA

Not all the way, when I set PWMmax to 100, this is when they overvolt. At 50 it's fine, but the green line can't keep up with the blue line. I will try to configure other parameters before tweaking the power.

So I did some fine tuning and was able to get the PSU not to stall except in Square mode, they stall instantly unless I get the power way down and that makes the motors unable to follow in motion mode

Finally, I came around to building my simulator. Still have some fine tuning to complete.

CTC is ajustable from 3" to 6", but the PSU would stall with the motors only, no rig attached.

Hi, i made a working 6dof platform using the same motor as you i think. Located in levis. If you need help i can guide you a bit i guess

PM me.
