    This is my thread on how to build my 4DOF motion platform for anyone who is interested in building this design, or using the ideas for your own design.

    I will be posting two video tutorials weekly in this thread. It is a comprehensive tutorial series that covers every aspect of the build, including the electronics setup and software setup for this rig. I will release x 2 tutorial videos here every week.

    Much credit goes to all who have pioneered and forged the path for myself and others to build these machines of chaos.

    The first video is a demo of my rig in action and an overview of my build.

    The second video is Pt1 of the tutorial series.
