AC motors calibrating problems - 2 DOF Motion Platform

new vidéo with pad accéléromètre:

with the profiler 1, if there was no effect, the simulator does not move.
even if start is press.

with the profiler 2 , if there was no effect, the simulator moves! that's the problem I think ;
may be a bug? is normal?

everyone else on the forum uses actuators SNC5?

nobody uses profiler2 with a card Velleman, I am the only one? with scottlolo

it is possible that a person with simulator testing with profile 2?

a freind in france have the same problem too:
his simulator vidéoclic right , download in your computer)

i test lot configuration inthe setup program, its the same problem.

and i test different configuration calibration no change

i delete all sequence block, and press start, now simulator don' moove.

i make a news matrice and try again, it's the same problem.....

No - you're not :hi:

Hello Riton

I have done my first step's to the sim world also with a Velleman Card. So is it right that you have still the bad shaking value's from your Pot's? And is it all so right that you're using some external pot's connected to the velleman card?

If you answer two times with YES - there is only one solution: change this way to get the positions from youre pots to pc. The velleman produces some realy bad flickering inputs - like you have seen. The profiler try alwas to handle this values from youre pots and if they move he will follow and move the motors. Thats the reason for your bad schaking.

So, to fix the problem you just have to use a little converter to get the values as a joystick, direct to the pc. I'm using this one: http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836/ (this offers you 8 Analog axys and 32 Digital axys) or the other one that sirnoname has programmed a special plug-in for x-sim: Conrad.de: 191028-62 (i haven't work with it, but it should fix your problem all so)

I hope this can help you!?

Greetings Martin

Btw: How did you give the speed Values to the Motor Controllers? For further questions it will be very usefull if you can post a little diagramm of your wiring (only systematic, not detailed)

Accellerotmeters wont work imho! That is what causes the shaking imho!

Accellerometers wont give good position feedback, as the sensors do not compensate the mass inertia applied to their internals.
You either need potentiometers, hall sensors or encoders for position feedback. I'd propose to use potentiometers or hall sensors for now. Afaik LBodnars BU controller does support both...

ok, so with profiler2 I can not connect the pots on the Velleman card.
it worked well with the profile 1!
dommage!

I'm going to try with a normal joystick, it should work .

I have good news for me!
After several nights, I find how to operate profiler2.

no, no! it's good, its work with accellerometre!
it works with an accelerometer, my logitech pad
there is no problem!

cool! :clap: :

and its work with pot and velleman card with pot in A1/A2, scott works with this configuration!
but it's very , very difficult to calibrate, and i dont know why?
personally, i am not arrived to works and calibrate my simulator, after a lot of hours i try with my pad accelleromètre and in 5 minutes its work!

It works for you so far, because you are moving your construction slowly.

But If you will move it faster someday, including shaking and rumbling, then you will get wrong postion values out of your accellerometer/inclinometer, because it the its internals are mass inertia sensitive.

You really should use potentiometers or halls sensors.

However, are you sure that the potentiometers, which you have used before, are fully functional? Perhaps you should check them, if they work properly.

Connect them to a 5V PSU, move the slider or turn the pin from one end position to the other, and check with a mulitimeter, if you get stable potentiometer output values from 0-5V. Perhaps your pots are bad.

Regards

I just tried with fast, too fast!
I did the rodeo!
I have no problem, the effects are identical, but too fast!

I have not tested my potentiomtre with 5V, I'll do it.
with the knobs, I can not focus the simulator.
I also have error message on the value that is higher or lower.

I have problem with calibration of meaning and sense of high and low value of the potentiometer.


I need a schematic to understand, I tried many combinations, but it's not.
I do not understand the logic of calibration
whereas the accelerometer pad is ok

my logitech pad accelerometer works like a joystick, there is no difference if it works with a joystick, why does it not work with this pad?


so that it works with my pots (on the entry A1 and A2) and my logitech pad, I just changed the values of speedtriggervalue and math unit continuous sensitivity to movement after a stop in outpout setup

I do not need a high speed!




if I put too much speed, it is impossible to play, it's completely unrealistic!

speed is not really a problem, I have too much in reserve.

variators frequency works at 20% , 200% is the max speed.
I tried with 50%! it's impossible, it becomes a fighting machine!

yes, the next step is managing the speed with PWM output and a PWM converter

Hi Riton had tp ask the question in my never endiong search for actuators : what was the speed and torque capability of your new AC Gearmotor..or the make and manufacturer details if possible 8)

you have all the information in the first post:
All is explained on the post, I can not give more details!
