    I purchased an old video game sim platform. Late 90's era. Pneum/electric platform. Its in good shape. Would like to bypass the old board and control system and tie in all the new good stuff. I'm struggling with where to start a bit since all the posts here are about building up from nothing, rather than dealing with existing hardware. And what is that existing hardware? The main unit is on a three actuator pneumatic base mounted on a electrically driven rotating platform. The main unit is a two person fiberglass cab with steering wheel, pedals, etc.


    The pneumatic cylinders are CKD model SCS-N-TC-140B-300 #01384 and the valve controllers and CKD model 2AF (something something) 10. Some pics attached.


    So for starters, just trying to figure out what board / boards to buy to get this thing functioning. What are your thoughts for the best solution?

    Thank you!

    Ended up getting a VM110N (K8055N) and will hopefully have the actuators running tomorrow. Thank you to those who got in touch with me :o:
