    I'm an Electronics Engineer from Portugal. I've been working for the last 10 years developing in the PIC Microcontroller Area. I have developed data aquisition, I/O and communication boards. I'm a newbie in the motion simulator area but I've recently start a new project in this area. The major problem for me is the short knowledge I have in the most important issue: converting the x,y,z and G-Force information from the game memory to motion movement commands. Is there any tutorial or information about these concepts??? Where can I get the SDK? Is it well documented??

    Thx in advanced,

    ps: I'm available to colaborate in the forum.

    Hi hdsa,

    With your knowledge, your help would be great!

    X-sim software can convert the game memory values to usefull data (like serial output) for you!


    For motion control you can see some information on these links:

    1) tronic-s-proportional-servo-motor-control-with-basic-stamp-t495.html (with source code to take a look into as example)
    2) implementing-pid-control-in-microcontroller-t1011.html

    Or this, that is based on AVR microcontroller but its closed source for now...
    3) tronic-s-amc-motor-motion-controller-with-pwm-servo-output-t559.html



    But there are other areas that needs support also like real moving gauges, or 7seg digital tachos, or even GLCD output support! Below is what I try to do about the servo instruments:
