DIY 2DOF / Gear motors / Arduino & Monster Shield

I start this simulator for my highschool graduation project.
thanks to the great amount of information in this forum and the internet, I dare to make my own simulator of driving.

I started with the structure , I decided to make it robust because I need to load a lot of weight, but not to overdo it to avoid problems with engines. However I had problems with wiper motors, so I had to replace them with gear motors.








I had problems with the Monster Shield 2 times, guess they were defective, because the third one works perfect. Still make some tests to calibrate the simulator.

Here is the wiper motor and gear motor, the shaft is connected to a squad that is directed to the sensor (potentiometer)

The seat can be adjusted with the nut of the CV, I did some tests and do not present problems
, in case of any problem with movement, I'll follow your advice
Thanks!

HI,nice project,this is a foto from my chair articulation made by myself,i have a perfect balance point ,its important so you dont have any overload on motors!

At the moment there is no movement from side to side in the seat.
HELLO! Mariana that looks great , yeah, I also found the balance point in my simulator, the problem is that due to the weight of the structure for be very robust, the wiper motors didn't serve me, motors gear were the answer to my problems

What I especially like about your sim is that the gear shift is where it should be, not mounted at the same height as the steering wheel. I play like that right now and I hate it!!! Good Job!

Hi, it as dificult to chose the place because before i use two gearbox ,1 sequential another one H,but the both stay at the same place,because g27 gearbox only can do h mode,so i found a nice tip on youtube and solve the problem!!same gearbox 2 modes !!!

Rigth side of the Whell stays handbrake,

Oh thats really cool! I play more AC than Dirt, so I just use the paddles when I need sequential Do you have a link to the youtube vid? I'd like to see it in action!

Hi @Dronx ,after if speak with a few players i chose for my playseat only motion on the seat ,so my wipers can work ok!!

This was on the first week of tests!!!

I agree, the first attend I did was for moving full cabin, and as result the wiper motors cannot return to the neutral position. Finally I make the motion sim for moving only the seat, and the result and realism are awesome. I will do a cabin moving sim only if it is almost for flying sim and using more powerfulls motors
