    I have conceived my simulator with frex design, but i have a problem when i want calibrate my simulator.

    The problem is the simulator does not go down and up, only right and left and the problem is a ptentiometer is not in movement and the softwar force profiler not detect Y potentiometer :(

    My question is : do you exists a profile for frex design ?

    Very thinks for advances.

    Hi,

    please post a picture or video of your simulator/calibration procedure.

    Without extra information, its hard to help you.

    At first I have to mention, that the Profiler1 has been made for pure 2DOF simulators, where every actuator represents a single axis.

    The Frex design is a 2DOFer as well, but with combined axis.

    It is possible to use Profiler1 for Frex like setups. But not without tricks.

    1. You have to connect the pots to the cylinders, not the seat!
    2. The calibration routine will be somehting like:
    -cylinder 1 down
    -cylinder 1 up
    -cylinder 2 down
    -cylinder 2 up
    -cylinder 1+2 center

    I'll have a Profiler settings file for Frex type for you, but you have to connect the pots to the cylinders at first.

    Regards
