Building a new 6DIY

YES , 40x40x3 AND 33 x 33 x3

New up date (see pics)

When I go up on the simulator, I must move back up the bracket arm and remove the joystick if instead.

* Next work 1 * I still have to make myself a step to climb on the simulator because it 's not enough low when he is at Lock in lowest position .( FlyPT Hex)

*Next work 2 * I have still problem to set up the tuning ( oscillations), it's a lot better than before but need more work everywhere… I try to set up all toghether at same time up and down with* Heave pose* but also oscillate with other pose ..But now with everything are in place the C.O.G will not change . Only the seat position can change the tuning . I will put next weekend 180 lbs of sandbag on my seat and See if I can do something With it

With smc3 , when i use smc3 to change the motor power with the P.I.D, i don’t know why but the (kD) Dérivative does not work,and if I put 0 or 1000 , nothing changes !! maybe I don’t have the right version of smc3 !! or it does not work with the arduino card !! But all My oscillation problèmes seems to be from there !!!

Man, it looks so cool.
You are using Occulus, so I'm not sure how to do Motion Cancellation. I'm using Vive.

ok . thanks a lot ! now everything work good ! download with .executable is better ! (Non, il faut que tu installe le OpenVR-InputEmulator.exe . C'est un exécutable. C'est lui que j'ai pris.)

Could you post a screen grab of your SMC3 utility settings so we can see if there is anything obvious

Also, can you describe your occillation problem. I mean, my rig is never fully stable. The motors always turn half a turn in and out every half second. It's just not enough to be anoying.
Another thing, I found out that testing the forces with simtools gives choppy movement most of the time. But when I test then into a game, they are much more smoother and direct.

I add color when I'm sit in the Rig ( with and without me ) , if I put Kd o or 400 , I can't see any diference ( 1 pic ) @SilentChill

I think Fpid is way too low. Mine is at 4 or 5.
Me and SilentChill has the Kd = 0 and Ks = 1.
Here is SilentChill grab screen he posted on my thread.

how much did it run you to make one linear actuator? @Flymen

Yeah that's your problem I think try setting FPID to at least 3 with KI 0 KD 0 and KS 1

That should help hopefully

if you need more info with SMC3 ; www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/smc3-arduino-3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

What do you mean exactly? How much time it takes? How much money it cost? I know that Flymen is French and he may not have understood it correctly. I'm not even sure what you are asking.

yes.. cost wise. im just trying to see how much it set you guys back..

Thanks a lot for your help but nothing change .
The bug is still the same , only with Motor one I can control Kd …the rest I can't control Kd , or PWMrev with SMC3 / Arduino R3 .
For all the rest everything work perfect !
My set up for one actuator is with this mode : MODE1: H-Bridges , the only diference is that I use two contact relay to control direction of this drive from Advanced .( see pic)@gadgett

Minimum 5000$ us to ….. and lot of work !

It depends if you buy brand new or used ,,,, for me everything are used . And a lot of parts are from my work ( scrap parts ) .
But if you want something new , look the one of https://www.xsimulator.net/community/members/4322/ . and follow this Thread '' midiculusly''.
And if you know Electromecanic , it will be more easy !

Unfortunately, I don't see any flaw in you scematic. Even though I am not sure how the signal to the aab relay 24v controls the motor via the amplificator. If all is connected correctly, I don't see why this would not work. Can't help you.

One simulater without Led Light is not a Simulater …. haha ! (up date with Saitek Pedal )

I've bought a reel to put on mine too !!

I'm lucky I have them incorporated to my fans, otherwise, I would not have a Simulator.
