    Please read first the SimTools documentation. You will find all related information. In the FAQ section you will find any Ard codes.
    Finally open a new thread in the appropriate forum.

    Hi, I understand the SMC3 is used to control 3 motors, if you use 2 Arduino with SMC3, how to make them work with 6 motors?
    if we use 6 Arduino, how to make the 6 motors works together?

    with great software Simtools you can work and coordinate 6 interface at the same time...

    Hooshang, I have patented an invention & I need a miniature 6-DOF electric platform built. Do you live in America? I am in Texas.

    This is a beautiful simulator, though I doubt it is accurate in real life. I mean, when a plane turns right for example, the simulator emulates the movement with a roll to the right, exposing the passenger to an acceleration towards ground due to its inclination. However, this is not what happens in a real plane: when a plane turns right, it does roll but the roll compensates for the centrifugal force due to the turn, so the passenger only feels an increased acceleration towards the direction perpendicular to the seat - in practice, he feels like he weighs more! Unfortunately, emulating this phenomenon is not something which can be done with a 6DOF rig.
    When a car is involved, on the other hand, the simulation can be more accurate, because if a car turns right the driver experiences a centrifugal force pushing him left, which can be emulated with the rig rolling to the left.

    I hope I have been clear...

    Regards
