X-Sim is a universal software for motion simulators on the market and for the do it yourself community. It is a ongoing private project which has a ten year development history.

Our First simulator project

Hi everybody,

My friends and I are developing a motion simulator of 2DOF.

To do that, we are using the following mechanical structure:

The motion will be done for 2 wiper motors from VW Fox.

The motors will be controled by an H Bridge that we've built with Power Mosfets IRF3205.
See below the schematic.

Arduino Force Feedback Driver

Hi !

I opened this thread, cuz I was posting at this viewtopic.php?f=39&t=317&start=30#p2486 and I do not want to mess up or "hijack" other threads !!!

I am doing a force feedback wheel and I am using an arduino to do the force feedback controller.

So If anyone could help me I would appreciate it !

Thanos, I really need to use the current sensor ??

If I do ...

Triple Screen Fresnel Lens Display for $220

7 Foot Wide Triple Screen Fresnel Lens Display for $220.

DSC02034.jpg

I just finished a prototype which turned out so well I thought I'd share some details.

It uses 3x19 inch monitors magnified by Fresnel lenses to give a near-seamless 135° FOV. The lenses fool the eye into believing the image is approximately 7 feet wide and farther away than it actually is; more like what eyes are used to focusing ...

JRK 12v12 versus other pololu boards

Question!

Why does everyone use JRK 12v12s? Is it because they have the easy serial/usb interface for sending control data?

Something like http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/760 can do 36V15 for about 60% of the cost. It seems like the only thing you'd need is a microcontroller running a PID controller to send the data. Is that the only reason why more people don't use it?

Step 1 problem in motion driver setup

Hi,

In motion driver:
How to control if the step 1 (algorithm choose) is good ? Because I can see a diffrents values effect (21 to33) in ''X-sim converter''.
There are a link between algorithm choose and differents effect n°21 to 33 ? It seems to be a good algorithm choose if this effects moves ?

Bests regards

PS: I want realise a pneumatic simulator.

My first dynamic simulator with pneumatic actuators

I started in the manufacture of dynamic simulator with pneumatic cylinders.
The result was not correct, and I abandoned the project ...
I then began the manufacture of another simulator with AC motors, the current "" MS-X-R "

even if dynamic simulator air no longer exists, I still wanted to share my work.
it may be of interest to some person.









;)


"Baby MS-X-R" my new dynamic simulator project !

The "Baby MS-X-R" concept:

Build a simulator "low cost".
I would try to make sure it is not too expensive, and also that you can use any motors / actuators to move.
My goal, trying to make a simulator with "finishing business" for a price of 1000 € retail price. (Hard ...)
There will be a seat in the tariff, the simulator will be upgradable to 3 or 4 engines DBOX kind.
I am considering ...


X-Sim Extractor VS Windows 7 x64 bits

I am having problem in my simulator running on my personal computer.
On other computers worked perfectly, however in my personal computer does not work. He comes to give the start in X-sim convert more G forces are not simulated. The result realtime analyzer on screen mat setup did not change at all, is always 0. All computers have experienced the software run on windows x86 environment. Like at home did not work, I suppose ...

problems with extractor and FSUIPC pour FSX

Hello, I have installed the software and FSUIPC for FSX, everythings OK under XP. Recently I have upgrade to windows 7 and now, when I start the extractor the help window from FSUIPC opens but not the extractot menu (convertor starts with extractor apparently running but when I try to start the simulator I have a message: extractor not found).
I have tried to reinstall all the stuff, to delete all data from FSUIPC but ...
