uno de los mayores problemas es el costo, de los simuladores, mi idea es reducir el costo de los wipers, servo, :!: etc, que conforman y dan la fuerza de movimiento en los simuladores , deseo encontrar una solucion, sin cambiar la electronica, siguiendo con esta base, el cambio seria en los componentes de fuerza. pense en disñar un sistema de reductores, economicos , aunque a baja ...

Hi,

I am creating this subject because I would need the help of people who know how to code ARDUINO. I use a code which allows to control the motors of my SIMU via MotoMonsterShield cards the famous VNH2SP30. The code was written by RacingMat then updated by it to pass the PWM from 580 Hz to 20KHz in order to avoid the unpleasant engine noise on these low frequencies.

However, this reference code is ...

Guys, i need help.

Everything is connected and working in tests using arduino app 1.8.2 (i did my own code), i can move both motors , read de pot ...

BUT

when i use the XPID 1.4 and do the tests in X-SIM , i just get one motor working (already check the pins in code, thats all ok )

Im wondering if some dll is wrong ..

I read all forum, tried a lot ...

Hi Guys

I would like to show you my new finished project of an Motor driver for my 2dof.

Specifications:
Supports two motors max. 350Watt/12V.
Connection to Arduino UNO board.
Connection for two Indicator LED`s.
Connection for two potentiometers.
Connetion for safety button.
Reset Switch connection.
Including a cooler fan and a big heatsink
The Motor driver have build in safety power off if the temperature goes over then 65°C.

After my tests with two ...

Hi,

I've been using PoKeys57U controller (PoLabs) for keys, buttons, switches, led matrixes etc. I started with arduino but later found out PoKeys has already in-built joystick functionality which is great. With simple PoKeys configuration software you can simply map analog and digital i/o to joystick buttons and wipers. I've been using it for flight simulators. They added plugins support for x-plane which enables usage of simulator parameters and send them back to the i/o ...

Hi All,

I am new to the motion design world, so I am seeking advise from experienced members. I have purchased 3 X Parker ETS50-B05PA20-FKC100 Servo Driven Linear Actuators (see pictures) i have been researching all over the net for the past 3 weeks straight with still no idea on the following:

1) what controller hardware will i need to get these things working with FSX ?
2) what software does one require to extract ...

This is a tutorial how to connect and use the Sabertooth 2X60 with the open source X-PID Firmware.

Sabertooth0.jpg

The tutorial connects the sabertooth 2x60 to the open source motor control firmware of this post:
Open Source Arduino Firmware X-PID with autodetection X-Sim plugin and graphical PID tuning
You get a full suported X-Sim plugin with autodetection, PID tuning with graphical interface and many other features. The PWM frequency setup is ...

Hello builders,

I do here a quick handling tutorial for the Moto Monster board.
The fitting arduino firmware / software thread is located here:
Open Source Arduino Firmware X-PID with autodetection X-Sim plugin and graphical PID tuning
Insure you do use the moto monster branch of the firmware, do not use the standard X-PID firmware!

Technical datas:
- power amplifier to control 2 DC motors
- power rating at about 14 Amperes (big heatsinks required, ...

How to really connect a pot to your interface board without loosing accuracy or smoothness

In this post I will explain how you have to connect a pot or a HALL effect pot to your interface card. I explain here how to increase the quality of motion of a new interface design or how you upgrade any existing simulator setup that comes with pots or hall pots. A pot has 3 wires. One is connected ...
