    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF, Arduino
    Hello everyone, after my 2 DOF simulator, now it's time to create my 3DOF, with which I'm having the time of my life!

    It took me almost 2 years of effort, patience and time to complete this project......
    For this 3 DOF I drew inspiration from many tutorials, including one of my own.

    Here's a short shopping list of the equipment you'll need for this 3 DOF.
    Equipment purchased a few years ago from https://simukit.com/

    The list is not exhaustive, but it's a good start.

    In terms of budget, you can expect to spend over 1500 euros.


    - 3 x 400 watt motors.
    - 6 cranks for 400-watt motors
    - 3 x 20-tooth gear wheels
    - 3 x 50-tooth gearwheels
    - 3 springs for 400-w motor
    - 9 M10 female ball joints
    - 3 potentiometers 360°without stop
    - 2 SABERTOOTH 2x32A cards
    - 1 ARDUINO GENUINO MICRO card
    - 2 Power supplies 24V 1000W
    - 1 12V 800W power supply
    - Various connectors such as M/F usb cords and electrical cables
    - 3 Legrand Plexo waterproof sockets
    - 3 Mosîc 45 legrand socket outlets
    -
    For the scrap metal part, I can't remember the quantities and prices:
    -
    - 20x20mm square tube
    - 25x25mm square tube
    - 30x30mm square tube
    - 16mm round tube
    - 120x60mm rectangular tube
    - 3mm steel sheet
    - and various plastic caps for tubes



    Now that the plans have been drawn up ,
    it's time to build and weld all this scrap,


    This is the part of the steering wheel that will be adjustable in height and depth,

    I chose to connect the potentiometers via USB and the 24-volt motor power supply via extension leads and plexo sockets, which is quicker in the event of dismantling the assembly,
