SMC6 - 6DOF Motion Simulator

Hi guys,

just want to confirm that everything is working

all the computer needed was a reboot after installing simtools !

the correct syntax as @yobuddy mentioned is TGT<Axis1a>,<Axis2a>,<Axis3a>,<Axis4a>,<Axis5a>,<Axis6a>

thanks for the help

Here is a video with the F3 tub fitted



It looks like it has the power to lift the whole car not just the tub !

heave step test - the sim is moving in small steps

the tub is carbon fibre approx 35kg, the base is many times heaver

the base is lifting off the ground

need to find someone brave enough to get in it LOL

This is a very nice project Gadget999. The cheapest way to build a 6dof in my opinion.

Looks quite accurate if you ask me. I like your approach with the controller/software
and h-bridges.

The project is on hold for a short period whilst I order a new motor driver

I tried a new power supply and it gave off a lot of noise - the circuit board interpreted the noisy signal as movement on the encoders - it tried to move the motors to many different random positions very quickly and it looks like a motor was driven in both directions at the same time - the motor driver did not like it !

I will code a filter so that the encoders can only count so far in one control cycle - if its above a certain threshold the motor will stop with an error code

next job is to fit a OSW mige ffb steering wheel and hydraulic pedals

Did u will sell the board or hex code and firmware?? I have wormgear 1:60 6pcs. Yes its before for motion also. But the motor is ac servo drive, i cant find the driver. Thank u, very interest. Good luck mate. Ur smc3 verry great also

The code is designed to work with a Dc motor not a servo drive

O

Whh, need to change the motor, how about if encoder 1024ppr??
Is your code free like SMC3 before??

it will work with any encoder - but needs a DC motor
PWM and direction

the code is not open source

How much for the board mate?

Its not currently for sale till the project is completed - its been on hold for various reasons, however we are looking to restart the project very soon

everything is working well with sim tools

I am going to program a start up routine to get the encoders to do a homeing procedure for safety and then the main loop will start

The next step is to build another DD drive and get it fitted so the tub can be used by a driver

I will tackle that soon enough

Nice mate, for me just need for the motion, for now still using ur smc3. Its realy amazing, but i plan to build 6dof and see ur smc6. But my motor was pmsm with gearbox, so just need change the motor or make driver for pmsm suport pwm dir right??.

Also for DD wheel i used AC servo 10Nm peak 30NM. With combine vesc and EMC tools mate. So far its good,

last wheel i built was a mige with aasd driver and VNM simultion board

the board is pretty good and will work with other servo drivers

next wheel will be a mige driver / mige motor and VNM board

pedals will be thrustmaster with a hydraulic brake conversion

I have another project to do after this one - this is the next 6DOF sim https://youtube.com/shorts/2uK0q9FPmQM?si=nscug4jIymk21R3x

I am converting the control system

Nice man, have u try the mige with vesc?? Its more cheaper. But i dont know vnm suport vesc or no. But EMC are suport .

Hope u give the info later when ready about smc6 sir

Damn good man, i was have 4 actuactor only but without driver servo, that way still loking for the other servo, i have panasonic minas A5 its suport step dir also but dont have torque reach ( vnm need it for limit stop) also the encoder resolution is 20bit ABZ its mean 1milion++ ppr, they say over kill for motion
