    Then try to set 10-255

    But ensure you set the simulator movement to 10% on both axis in the Profiler. Then arise the value until your pistons reach their end positions.

    Or you wait for the replacement pots....

    The problem is, that it does not center after calibration

    You have to find a way to increase the travel!

    Mount the con-rods somewhere else!

    You need to increase the min-max difference just a little bit more!

    min less than 10
    max more than 250

    Okay I have to work on that, to find the right travel and even more travel because I think I will maybe change the cylinders to smaller ones and stronger ones. It feels like 200mm is to much(like you say earlier :roll: ), and they could be better at holding the chair.

    Mount them like this for example, and you'll have more travel!

    If I mount it like that, will I get the same movement when I move left and right as if I mount it from center? (what I mean is, will it move the same amount on the left side as on the right side)

    I thought that it had to be from the center.

    No I haven't tried it yet, when I get home from work tomorrow I will try to adjust it again.

    They look really cool the firgelliauto actuators on your setup, how far are you from trying them. It would be really nice not to have the kompressor and the valves worry about.

    And a big thanks for ALL THE HELP SO FAR

    ;)

    I am waiting for Thanos' interface. But when I have the H-Bridge driver I will make a little vid by just moving them back and forward.

    I think, altough they are just 75mm/s fast, that they'd give a good immersion.

    @Ferrari_man

    Damn, I had stucked too deep in the RnR materia while making the sketch ;)

    You should forget what I told you about the pot mounting.
    Sirnoname is right!

    Great that he had come up with some brilliant examples! ;)

    Damn you got some ideas, and I suggeled to find one idea for the problem. :)

    I think I will go with the lever or the smartlever, they look easy to make an adjust.

    @Ferrari_Man - How are your frex setup doing? Tested it with pneumatics? Do you have a valve matrix file that I could start with?
