New Sim Idea

Hi All

New sim project for a DIY motion sim

http://www.feelthree.com/

regards Terry

That's ambitious!

in the past, a member has already made a simulator in a sphere
I did not find image

The lack of heave and bump would be provided by a good motion profile with low numbers in the " Tuning centre" and in "Axis Assignments". This is assuming that the sim is well balanced.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Heave will be an optional add on once the base unit is working and there is plenty of room for tactile transducers.

I'm also running a raffle on the site to help drum up support for the Kickstarter, so put in your name and you can win one!

Yeah, it's a good idea. Now I'm sure the panels are affordable I've started looking more at the motors and there are a million options.

Ciao @traveltrousers
Una piccola descrizione sarebbe gradita della foto che hai messo
Cos'è una trasmissione a catena con rulli... e come funziona?

Puoi spiegare anche cosa sono i trasduttori tattili?


Hello @traveltrousers
A small description of the picture would be appreciated that you put
What is a transmission chain with rollers ... and how does it work?

You can also explain what are the tactile transducers?

Um, sorry

It's an idea to rotate my sphere, instead of using omniwheels I mount a series of rollers to a regular chain, which massively increases the traction for very little cost...

A tactile transducer is a speaker that doesn't produce noise but rather low fequency vibrations, such as a 'buttkicker'.

Ah.. quindi sarebbe una buona soluzione e anche economica.

Mi sà che da un pò di tempo mi sono dimenticato come si fà la ricerca su google.... buttkicker
Però non vedo come farai a simulare il sollevamento e l'urto con un trasduttore tattile.. non credo che si ottiene la stessa sensazione.. va bene per avere le vibrazioni del cambio o del motore ma non credo per il sollevamento ed urto questo almeno e quello che penso io.


Ah .. so it would be a good solution and also economic.
I knows that some time ago I have forgotten how to search on google .... Buttkicker
But I do not see how you're going to simulate the lifting and collision with a tactile transducer .. I do not think you get the same feeling .. okay to have the vibration of the gearbox or engine but do not think for lifting and impact and this at least what I think .

Yes, but heave motion is 'expensive' as you need powerful motors to lift the platform. I will add this as an optional add on when the platform is successful.

Era quello che non riuscivo a capire... come facevi a simulare il sollevamento... quindi una struttura apparte optional scusami ma ne tradurre il testo avevo capito male.

It was what I could not understand ... how did you simulate the lift ... then a structure belonging optional I'm sorry but I translate the text I had misunderstood.

I've been working on the base concept.



I will probably add a couple of omnichains to control yaw too...

It will probably be several.... I guess I need to lock in the design first

groovy design
