FlyPT Mover

So I'm having a bit of an issue. I think latest thanos firmware related. The spike filter in hardware doesn't match the latest flypt display.

When I press update fields with current controller settings it doesn't update anything. And I know the spike filter activates lower than set in thanos. In dirt rally 2, certain jumps used to be ok, now the filter activates at a lower level. Setting the filter higher in flypt doesn't fix the problem .

First of all thank you for this amazing software.
I am currently building a 2dof motion simulator for a school project and we are looking to use your software, but when we try to use the 2dof rig we do not see the picture could you please provide this?

a verry big thank you from the netherlands,
Dennis

Ok so question for the transducer module. How can I set up a gear change effect (the thump). I have been messing with it for hrs and can't figure it out. Also how would one setup different sounding engines? Subaru Boxer for example. I know it's all in the filters somewhere but my logic fails me on this one.

I didn't change anything from fix4 to fix5 regarding the Spike filter remote settings.

BUT... SRS had same issue which it came down to removing the LF and CR characters in the end of send the remote commands and adding a bit of "sleep" time between sending the commands to set these parameters remotely, as they use buffer stream not interrupts like the real time motion data... also helps if the motion software does not sending motion data while attempting to send and set these remote parameters.

Maybe @pmvcda can check the above and do a quick fix about the additional sleep time between each send and removing the LF/CR characters in the end...

Hi,
I was trying to setup my rig for the first time with Mover, so far I have 1 question, according to the rig I have, what is the best RIG option in Mover I should chose, there seem to be none adapted to the way my system work (all independent actuator.)


Any idea?

Why not something more compact and lower profile?

Why does the software start slowly? About 25-30 seconds（FlyPT Mover 3.3.5 ALPHA）

I'm not really larger than what we see in this video and this thing is only a vibrator.
Mine has way larger movement and I prefer it 10x.
Only downside of mine is it's beauty haha.
Also seems you misunderstood my question I was not asking for a new RIG but for the RIG option in mover I should choose.

Yeah, custom rigs in flypt... if only Pedro could add a 3D designer in his program to position yourself the actuators and draw the chassis connections...

@pmvcda I assume you work on 3.3.6? I have a feedback on that custom version from Dec.,1st that was handed over to me by @Trip Rodriguez to help me in my ongoing struggles to set up my rig (GforceFactory EDGE6D).

I run the build and I set up an OUTPUT::TCP and a RIG::JUST POSE module. For the first time ever everything seemed to work as expected! Every movement of any of the six sliders was mirrored precisely by my physical rig. Throughout the whole range of the each slider, from one physical limit of the rig to its counter physical limit. JUST PERFECT!

Next step was adding a POSE::FROM MOTION module. And here it happens: The very second I add the POSE..FROM MOTION window, the output string changes and freezes. This happens even with the checkbox "POSE::FROM MOTION" NOT checked.

You should be able to replicate it with the attached settings and that 1st-Dec. build. Just add a POSE::FROM MOTION module to it.
Here's is a correct output string BEFORE

and AFTER (adding the window)


My gut feeling says the value naming conventions might be the source of the problem. You mentioned several times that you are not quite satisfied with its current state. But you'll know better.

As always lots of THANKS for looking into this!!

You don't need an algorithm for that motion sim. Do not use the rig module. Just use direct outputs for your actuators. You have a motor for surge, assign it to surge, motor for sway, assign for sway etc.

This is the same for me with my gseat. I use multi directs to mix some surge and sway onto the same motor.

@Mauricio , @digitalmonk , @J-1775 , @Wagnard and all others,

Really sorry, been trying to solve some personal problems and to much work in the end of year.
Can't give much feedback right now. My head is full with bureaucracy

@wyh0607b , the slow start might be related to the automatic hardware detection I made. Or the web search for the latest version.
I disabled the hardware detection for the next version, it was causing crashes and problems with some hardware.

@Mauricio , The FS2020 source is not yet concluded. You still have to run the other program and use P3Dto receive the data. Go back on this thread to see how.

@Wagnard ,

Maybe follow what @cfischer says, I don't think I will add that type of rig.
I have some work behind the scenes to allow the user to define a custom the rig, but it's not working and it's a real math nightmare with to much dependencies between actuators. It's almost like making a little part of Fusion 360.
If you are looking for motion compensation, maybe try to use the actuator rig. It allows you to use a pose to define the actuator position. Then you use that data in the motion compensation. But it's not a easy, and might not be possible for your rig. Sorry.

@J-1775 ,

Please wait for the new version. I found many errors in that one. Hope they are solved for the new version.

I will look at it!

Thanks Pedro!
Just to update you on this, for example I have Thanos set at
Range: 14280
Filter:8400 (14mm)

In Fly PT it detects it as
Spike Range: 14280
Spike filter: 8400 (12.8mm)

Before the Thanos firmware update, the highest spike filter I ran was 7112 (11.9mm) in Dirt Rally2, and that was ok on most jumps. And the two settings matched. (Thanos/FlyPt) Now even at a 14mm filter in thanos, it seems like it activates a lot lower.

So I'm not sure what changed.

That's fine with me and good enough news!
Just take good care of yourself and stay healthy, nothing's more important than that!

Question...
Can Mover output to the SCN type actuators?
I have a couple I would like to incorporate.

No
Would love to add it, but I don't have hardware to make tests

Wish you the best!
