F1 Cockpit Kit

good spot guys haven't really paid to much attention the the actual movement as i was testing the concept. Will do some fine tuning on it once i can actually sit in it then the fun begins!

So two more pictures to try and keep you all interested
on the left the mould for the head cockpit surround and on the right the seat mould. There is alittle bit more refinement required on them both but hopefully ishould be able to get a mould from both soon. As I am waiting on the seat to progress with the whole project.

Looks great!

Great job driver...

so finished making the bracket for the quick release for the srw-s1 wheel and have mated them together. Just need to cut down the bolts and use some nylon nuts.

Im tempted to place an order for seat base, would fit nicely into current design.
This will sit in cradle of my 6dof design for racing and when I want to go flying unbolt/clip the race rig and clip in the flight rig.
True multi purpose 6dof. lol

Hi. Great work!
Do you customize that seat, too?
Sorry if I have missed it: did you already consider a price for the cover?
@eaorobbie I guess shipping to Austrialia will be an issue.

Hi did you mean the seat or the motion base?
@Zwodog Im working on making the seat from the mould this weekend so should have further developments soon. At the minute it would be just fibreglass but i had thought to add cushioning/pads on it. Shipping isnt an issue to me but the cost could potentially up the cost on a unit.

@SeatTime me
So heres the seat . Alttle more worked required but now i can look at how it will be secured in the monocoque.

Hi. Great job. Real f1 wheels??? The comparison to the seat hamilton is sitting is a great idea. Depending on playtime you may like a little more lumbar support, also it seams you have some kyphosis in thorax. Looks confortable anyway. Sorry for talking smart, your diy skills are obviously way above mine, pls take no offence! As i broke my spine twice with snowboarding backpain is a good friend of mine.

Hi yes they are real f1 wheels
The photo might be aa bit misleading as i am quiet a bit taller than Lewis Hamilton and much heavier. If it wasnt for my big backside which is pretty much on the floor i presume it wouldnt look like my back is curved some much. Although it is pretty comfortable to sit in. self adhesive padding could be added to aid comfort. Plus with changes to regulations of the monocoque my legs might not be as high as they are in the photo.
I also think seat belts would aid in comfort so i will bear that in mind.

Another view of the seat

Hi @mrt Would you happen to have a wiring diagram and a couple of pictures of how you connected the hyperaxis 100 and the scn6 to the boards. Im fine with the power but its just this part i'm struggling with. I have order 5x db9 cables to cut one end off but need to connect this end to the actuators and dont want to connect the wrong wires

thanks

Jay

Hi Hope these help. I dint have the hyper axis on me so you would have to look at the shape of the plastic connector. Although i will tru and get a picture of the hyper axis later.
on the plastic clip the black wire is on the bottom left and green on the bottom right and white on top right.

on the rs232 connector the green is on the first pin on the top ( looking at my photo) followed by white and on the bottom of the top row is the black

Thanks @mrt . That is absolutely spot on. That should be all i need. I see you made your Wires to go into the 485 board. I have bought the other halfs of the connectors your are holding which should be here today. so i will get them put together tonight and if my db9 fittings arrive tomorrow i should be good to go.. I got some rs232-rs485 convertors to get the boards below for easy connection but i may cut down some rb9 cables at a later date for neatness which i also ordered.

Just knowing the pins i would of got away with just cutting down some cables, but thought i would rather have stuff not needed, that need stuff that i dont have

Cheers

@crammy Where did you get your connectors from . As i will have to make some extentions at some point.

@mrt ill find the link for you when im back at work tuesday as i ordered them from work. To be honest though i wouldn't waste your money on them. I only got them as i looked at other topics. I didnt even use the converters as i just wanted the boards. if I knew then what i Know now i would of just soldered a cable to the RS COM port you had done and sent me a picture off.

@mrt i noticed you said connectors not convertors as soon as i said post. If you are referring to the plastic connectors for the actuator data, i got them from Farnell uk. I put an order in last week and ordered more than i needed so @Roadster2 had some. i didnt know you needed any. if you can hang on until Tuesday i have an invoice at work with the part numbers

Yeah that would be great thanks
