Time for upgrade 2DOF to 6!!

have you tried [A<Axis1>] ... [A<Axis6>] one per interface as described in previous posts.you have to type the brackets too in interface output too
EDIT:
Set 500000 baud rate and 10bit binary output

Interface output is wrong, please check again the SMC3 thread.

I believe insanegr has nailed down your issues. Even though I looked at it, I completely overlooked the necessity of using brackets too. And when the baud rate is set incorrectly you will either get no motion or erratic motion.

Well, ill be dammed...IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am VERY sorry as i didnt thought of going back to the SMC3 page where it clearly says baud rate at 500000 and 10 bits output. The place i did thought of checking is in the SMC3.ino i could see 115200 in there so i thought i was ok
And also, yes i forgot to mention in my video that i did tried the brackets, but since i didnt had the proper baud rate it didnt worked...wew!!! i was hoping it was only a small thing.
TKS SO MUCH FOR HELP!!
and btw VR is awesome, got my VIVE helmet and started playing with it, really fun!!!

IT SHOULD READ

[A<Axis1>]

edit: lol should have refreshed first so glad you got it working.

LOL, dont worry, youll see it soon with my upper frame installed as we speak, i am cutting my rods and making a couple holes for gas strut...

Hi,
Well, i am a bit dissapointed as you will see in my video, the structure is a lot more sloppy than what i expected, and i didnt showed it moving but i have an issue with the hysterisis i think(goes back and forth quickly), i know there is a couple of ways of fixing this issue with SMC3 and probably simtool, havent had time to play with that much, but as i am putting gas shock, i have been told it will help, plus the weight of everything including me. i have quite some adjustment to do i knew that, but i need to be sure the design is not to change/modify before i keep going. The changes i tought was like moving the upper ball joint on the other side of bracket, or maybe change my attachment point, or the starting position etc...tks

maybe spin the motors so they face out this will give more of an angle? have you tried turning the starting points 180 degrees this will also change the angle.

Hard to tell from your video but you need to check how well you are forming the right angles so that each pair of arms will support each other. A property built Stewart Platform should be self supporting and not move at all unless it is driven (its based on intersecting triangles like a bridge support). Recommend therefore you have a look at how @SilentChill has built his sim which is similar to yours.

Hi,
Yes, definitly the upper ball joints can and will be mounted inside the brackets because the rod doesnt clear the arm if i put the starting position 180 degree on the other side, yes i did check Silentchill a lot tks, i believe i have no choice of putting the starting poin horizontally?
Also, should i be considering aligning the 2 triangles(base and upper frame) and attach motors accordingly? i dont think it would be right, but just asking in case...tks guys

two triangles set like the star of david is the way most are configured.

The two triangle base and upper are not aligned in a stewart Platform. Below is a old mockup of mine when I was building it - As you see it is all triangles and once it was attached to the frame later - very stable and strong. Not exactly like yours or @SilentChill , but I hope you get the idea. You are very close - it just that the angles are not quite right.

Flip your arms 180 degrees make much more of an angle on your connecting rods to the platform

Like I said to begin with spin the arms and motors 180degrees. Also as @noorbeast suggested put your platform push rod mount on the inside. If you insist on having the motors facing inside a larger base may be needed.

Wow @SeatTime that is one of the best examples ive seen of the triangles formed in a stewart. Ty for posting it.

Great answers guys, will do...just need to flip ball joints inside frame to clear the arm so i can flip them 180 deg. gonna make the frame lower which is good, like in cars, wider stance is better for more stability
Will keep you informed tks

I have been hard at work, but still have issues, would like suggestions from experienced guys please

Tks for the projector
For the resting position, that is why i am having problems to mount my chair, i have 40kg x 3 gas shock mounted on the 3 sides and i think it may have been too strong for the weight of my chair so my arms were sitting too straight and they would go on the wrong side, as it was before, and all became loose(i almost dropped it on my electronic panel), and before i put the chair on top, i had tried putting power on the rig and my motor didnt seemed to be strong enough to bring the platform to its starting position due to the shocks, i had set the Kp to 500 in SMC3, any thoughts??
