News of Controllers and Drivers Projects

Greetings! :D
I’ve a JOYRIDER type simulator in need of a basic set-up. I have read the thread and watched the video many times but still have problems with the concept. One of the problems is how to set the limits on both the X & Y axis. While both axis are important, the Y axis is most important to me, (see pics) , the upper ...

X-Sim USB pneumatic valve interface 2004

A little bit old but a nice project to increase the movement of the Rock'n'Ride chair. This is a special designed USB interface to control all eight valves of a 2DOF pneumatic valve isle. The difference to the standard rock'n'ride interface is a speed controlled movement with short pulsed air throughput. With a special designed open and close sequence it is possible to move the pneumatic cylinder slowly without ...

Hi, Guys.

I (with my friends) has created the port of alt. 2dof firmware to Arduino platform.
It must to work at all Arduino with atmega328p - UNO, Duemilanove, ( Nano not confirmed ).

WARNING !!! There are some communication errors for Arduino UNO with USB interface on ATmega8u2. I will try to resolve this problem
resolved in new firmwares

Hello together,

I did noticed that the usage of the Pololu JRK 12v12 and 21v3 interfaces, with the help of the USO, is not correct. This means there are two points that are not fitting, the first one is the devider by 2 of the 32bit output value and the second one is the half output of the whole value by not changing the $DD ...

Shown in this post is my successful outcome using Hall Effect Feed back.

I had problems with noisy pots ( probably because they were cheap pots :D ) and I decided to experiment with a Hall effect alternative.

The system I made works very well. Absolutely not noise or jitters coming from the feedback. I can now put a bit of Derivitive into my motion - ...

This project was able to be kickstarted after the kind donation of the open107v dev board from some x-sim members as listed in the following thread.
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=306

Today I'll start with some basic stuff about it, describing how you can use the bootloader of the STM32F107 to backup existing firmware or update it with a new one. This is very important as otherwise you need to get extra hardware ...

1. Features of the firmware:

- Firmware is fully compatible with the controller board AMC1.5 (and AMC1.6) by Thanos.

- To configure the firmware can use either a standard terminal program, or special management program - xSimCTRL.exe, supplied with the firmware.

- The firmware uses the modified control algorithm, in contrast to a simple proportional control is used in the original firmware Thanos.

- The speed of the COM port - 115200.

- To control ...

AMC1.6 2DOF DC motor controller:

This is the next generation of my AMC motion controller. It was long time ago that I published my first version, that went through lots of revisions and fixes all this time. This new version is all easy to make and use.
