Direct Drive wheel from wiper motor ?

Hey,

I was just thinking that would it be possible to make low-prized dd-wheel form wiper-motor ?
Using data from X-sim would be great way to do it..

I am not to familiar with these motors, so I thought I just would start a discussion 8)

Going from one DOF type to another

Hi all,

Very new to the whole motion simulator area but as a newbie I would like to start small and go from there.
The question is if I go for e.g. a 2DOF sim in the beginning, can the equipment be reused later for e.g. a 6DOF setup?
If not would it be too much for a newbie to start for a 6DOF sim rather than a 2DOF.

But these will cost me total equivalent ...

New Project: SCN5 vs other options: Total cost?

Hey guys, I've finally started working on my project and despite lots of reading was left with some questions. I read the "Why use scn5 linear actuators?" thread and despite wanting to keep the cost of my project to a minimum it made me tempted to put a pair of SCN5 actuators on a credit card.

My biggest question is in all, with everything included how much cost difference would you estimate between using two ...
