    3DOF
    Hi there, I have recently bought a simulator that generates motion from sensors that feed a Siemens S7-200 PLC which then controls the hydraulic rams, this is a 3-DOF setup.
    I would like to have the game feed the PLC rather than the external sensors, and later on explore the possibilities of increasing the setup to 4/5 DOF. This is a sim for hire and I want to create an experience second to none for the paying customer.
    So far we have tried Arduino uno R3 and R4 wifi, but we're struggling to find a suitable program or wiring configuration that would create an output that we could feed to the PLC. Is there maybe someone that have tried something like this before that can please point us in the right direction?
