News of Motion simulator building Q&A

Hello everyone,

I'm a new user here, just thinking about building a 2DoF racing sim. I have plenty of experience building and fabricating things, mechanical design, electronics, programming, trigonometry and so on, I don't see anything that would present any special difficulty, but I'm new to the world of sims so some advice or discussion about what I have in mind would help make sure my design was theoretically sound.

I'd like my sim to ...

Hello. I'm thinking of adding a small DC motor to emulate engine vibration in the gas pedal. I'll use an Arduino Nano, a Single Moto Monster and the DC motor out of a PS2 gamepad. I need Wiring diagram and code to arduino (only need turn motor in one direction with PWM). I don't know how setup XSIM to control the motor. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

So, I and others have waited forever it seems for Shige to release a driver update for our Project Cars sim. He's apparently pointing here to use the X-Sim software now and has stated he will make available some adapters to use with his equipment and X-Sim. Not wanting to wait for possibly several months for him to do this I would like to know exactly what parts I need to get my Simconmotion working ...

Hi ,we are some enthusiast of sim racing from Turkey and we were always planning to build motion simulators for ourselves but it was never going to happen because of the high rate taxes and currency problems.
However we have a friend who is suffering from moonblindness but an amazing person.He is one of the most petrolhead person i know but he never experienced driving an actual car because of hiss moonblindness issues.
So we ...

hi every body.
i want to make a 5 gauges dashboard. i bought 5 stepper motor BYJ48 http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/5LOTS-28BYJ-48-5V-4-phase-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Board-ULN2003-for-Arduino-5x-Stepper-motor/1216030_1899065791.html with ULN2003 driver. i have an arduino uno and an arduino mega.
now i cant run this motors because i cant find arduino code for this stepper motor.and how can i connect these motor to x-sim?
pls guide me.
thank you

Why everyone insist to use "Arduino Uno" insted for example "Velleman VM 110"
Configuration of my DIY 2dof Motion Simulator is:

2x Wiper Motors: SWF VALEO NIDEC ITT 404.458
Motion controller: Velleman VM 110
Motor Driver: SABERTOOTH 2x25 A
2x 10kOhms potentiometers for motor feedback
24V 600W power supply

And I have another Question:
1. Why I have jitter effect?
2. Motors are returned to their start position very slowly

I have a problem with the set up of the pololu maestro 6 channel board.
I installed in my rigg a fan system very simillar to the system which I found a couple of years ago here in the forum. It was a design from the member splenddid. He gave me support in the past as well to set up the pololu meastro board. Unfortunately I lost the datas of this setup and hope anyone ...

hi i am currently building my first sim and was wondering what the best way to control 2 pneumatic cylinders is? i already have an arduino 256 mega, compressor and 270mm throw cylinders am i correct in thinking i need 2 5/3 servo valves and amplifiers and is there anything more i need (besides power supply) do i need some kind of feedback?.

thanks in advance :)

Hello sorry i am new user , help! (Sorry for the English ) I have Arduino Uno + Arduino relay shield 2.0 + 2 DOF 12c , do not work with this code for Motomonstr
viewtopic.php?t=943 codes hear
Here on the site is written - is possible, but I have 2 motors spinning as they want , what's wrong? :(
Can ...

Dear experts,

I am new here and just started to make a 2 DOF seat mover based on two Doga wormgear 12 V motors, type 111.

The speed of movement I need is not that big as in a race simulator because I want A flight simulation movement of my chair.

I have one problem which i cannot solve before I can go on with my project.
How do I ...
