Building a new 6DIY

New control and up date electric board!!!( missing safety relay 6 and two cable pot !)

New up date !! I can see the light at the end of the tunel

Hiya you need to tag us in the post properly like @SilentChill or else it will not come up in our notifications

Great work by the way, looking forward to seeing it all setup and in action

edit: I hope you've got plenty of fans pushing air through your controller box

Hiya…
yes , I have some fan to pushing air through the box ( see pic )
All Power supply have a Fan !!! and two others , in and out the box !!

A Baby is Bornnnn!!!!

Next step , is put the power on it and try every safety limit and EPO !!! and finaly FlyPT Hexapod Interface tonight or tomorow !!!

Just like SilentChill said, you have to use the right tag if you want us to get a notification from your thread (@Pierre Lalancette ).

Just found it, just read it, right at the last streach before the end. (It`s never finish.)

And just like SilentChill, I was worried about the air flow in your electronic's box.

Your actuator looks powerful and I'm looking foward to see them in action.

SilentChill provided me with all his setting. I'm sure they could be useful to you:
6 DOF from scratch

Keep on the good work!

Some problems with : another pot broken and one motor doesn't work correctly.
I will receive 3 others Pot next week ( two for back up ) !!!
I will try to put the steering and pedal set up in place .

Have you tried getting a 10turn hall effect to test ?

Thats what I am getting for my upgrade, they are rated at 500rpm which should just about cut it for these actuators

edit: also how does the frame feel is there any flex in it ? i guess you cant tell until you get it all up and running properly

thanks for info ( pot)
at this moment all arms goes well ,and now i try to set up FLy PT and if everything goes well i'm at 10-to 15 min to ejacu...…. I have to go to work in 45 min

Is that your final cockpit design? If so, I predict allot of flexing and then the metal will fatigue near the joint and fail just like this:



You will then fall a good distance right into your electronics . Note: In the video the weld did not fail, it was the actual metal near the weld/joint - fixed with metal gussets.


Recommend you put in a cross brace between the two front supports and then gusset all the main joints.

Hi , that I did ! (see pics ) I will see if I need more at specific place after some run .
Thanks a lot for your help !

First mouvement !! video
I must doing a lot of tuning now !!!
1- One of my actuator ( number 4) have a spot on screw and grip every time at this spot !!

Was that movements only with the interface?
If yes, you have so much tuning to make, it oscillates everywhere...
Different speeds and accelerations.

YES , ONLY WITH INTERFACE !
NOW , I TRY WITH LFS ! BUT MISSING SOMETHING AGAIN !!

The first thing I would do is to check your smc3 values:



I had choppy movement on my rig and I put Fpid at 4 or even 5 to smooth it out. I put my Fpwm at 25hz since it did not seem to change much anithing. Also, play with Kp. In a tutorial, it says that Kp was the value with most affect on the movement. Test it out from 350 to 500. To tell you the true, I did not see much difference with Kp, but change Fpid if its too low.

After playing with my friends over 200 lbs who was able to do 3 rounds of No limits 2 without **dégueulé**, I saw the frame a little curve without damage. but friends them oufff ...f ...
New up date photos for the final cockpit design!

I don't see any picture. :/ (corrected, yeah!)

Yep! Now your talking! That's a beast. I could even try it myself now.

You are welcome !

Nice work ! What size box Ali did you use for your frame , 40x40x3 ?
