    Hello, not sure if anybody reads the news forum so I decide to post it also here:

    I created a Hexapod configurator which allows to enter all parameters and see how the platform will behave, here is a screenshot:

    And here is the link:
    https://www.opensimgear.org/calculators/stewart-platform/

    Please have a look and suggest new features and improvements, I am currently planning to add:
    - actuator limits: min/max
    - force calculations
    - support for rotary actuators
    - url deep link to save configurations
    - calculation of maximum accelerations based on actuator spec

    I am also working on an actuator planner where you can enter requirements and find the minimum specs a motor needs to satisfy the requirements.
