    Well here it is the beginnings of my first Stewart platform. I have downloaded @eaorobbie's 6dof onya motion control software I think I know what to do with it but can anybody give a description of the angle between base and platform. Its a little confusing to me but that wont slow me down yet.
    Next step is to hook it all up. Going to need a little luck and perhaps some help to nut this out.

    Well I've got to say that wasn't that hard to do at all. 6dof wobbly is operational in all six dof. I will post all the axis assignments and 6 axis code tomorrow. I am just waiting to upload some video all will be revealed. Big thanks to all the legends on this site that led the way. next is to get back on the tools and crank a real sim out.

    I have a question @noorbeast can sway and surge be mixed with roll and pitch. What i am trying to say is for example as you brake the platform
    would lung back and pitch forward. Is there a way ?
