    Hi I am new in this community,
    my name is Pietro from Italy and I am very interested to build my first 2DOF drive simulator.
    I found this community thanks to an online tutorial, and i'm reading a lot of DIY posted on this forum

    Tnx Pietro

    Hey guys/gals

    Names Lee from Melbourne, Australia. I'm 34.
    Going to have a crack making a 2dof. I'm a simple tradie, with no degrees. Just wing it I reckon haha
    I made a few drones recently so I'm ok with wiring stuff and basic computer type things. I just enjoy tinkering and doing stuff. Rather be riding my moto or in the garage over coffee at the shops.

    I was hoping to buy a motor and jrk plus a few associated bits to see if I can get it all to talk to each other. If so then buy the rest.
    I have a 550W ATX psu I just ripped out of my PC which might come in handy.

    Cheers
    Lee

    A fellow Aussie, welcome @Wormy.

    We are lucky to have easy access to motors in Australia from Motion Dynamics: https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/worm-drive-motor-12v-24v-200w-180-rpm-20nm-torque.html

    JRKs may cost a bit but are easy to setup and suit these motors perfectly.

    Good luck with your 2DOF project.

    Hi all
    this site is wonderful and developers job fantastic.
    I easyily successfully wired arduino one and moto monster shield to check my first 2dof control system.
    I did experience that Sim Tools 1.3 is not working fine on windows 10 64 due serial commands are dropped (just one motor is controled). I did solve setting up game engine on w7 machine.
    Will version 2.0 work on w10 ?
    Thanks
    Valerio

    Bonjour/Bonsoir tout le monde. Nouveau sur le forum. J'ai comme projet de faire un simulateur 4DOF miniature (pour le moment) pour voir comment fonctionne la programmation de ce genre de petit bijoux.

    Welcome @Benoit

    You can duel post in French as long as you include an English translation.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language groups so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, including code and instruction on how to build a RC powered model : https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/build-a-working-model-to-test-your-design-ideas.216/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here and show off your RC powered model project as it develops: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Feel free to ask questions on your build thread, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Just a quick post to say thanks for this site and looking forward to starting my own build. Have already done a OSW build and now want to try a motion rig. Here is a pic of my OSW and some other gear I have made . IMAG0302.jpg

    Hey guys, my name is Collin, I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, that's in the Caribbean. I'm a novice when it comes to motion simulators. I'm now building a simulator actually, I hope to build my own motion Sim one day with the wealth of knowledge and experience from members here, it will be a piece of cake, looking forward to building my diy Sim one day .
