News of Motion simulator Projects in progress

Hi,
here I will document my project to my 2DOF platform piece by piece.

The platform should be strong enough to move the whole frame.
Therefore my choice was a 24V wiper motor for big buses.
I found it at the company VALEO. (ca. 160€ each)

The cardan joint under the platform is printed with a 3D printer.
And here it is:

Hi! My team and I are creating a 6 DOF rig as our final year engineering project at Dalhousie University. Expect pics and updates to come as we progress! :idea:

I am working on a D-box style motion platform. The project is in progress currently but I made a video about first test with Dirt2.
Home made D-box style motion platform, with commercial linear actuators. Contoller system : Arduino uno and Motomonster shield. Feedback about actual motor position: 10K rotary potmeter . Control software: Xsim Power : 12V 30A PSU commercial. Actuators: 24V 150 mm speed:60mm/sec 2 axis with 3 effect: Longitudinal force, up and ...

Hi, I want to start with an economic motion simulator,

Hi all,

Couple of years ago i planned on starting a simulator build, bought a couple of parts but didnt really start with it. Last sunday (06-10-2019) i thought it was the right time to start the build.

Not really designed anything upfront and just started with the build. Decided that if i find something that isnt correct i just cut it out and start over with that bit.

Its a steel frame with an ...

This project start at early 2017 and finally I got the result I want recently (early 2019). It took me nearly 2 years for this project and there are still plenty to improve in my opinion. I am a race car engineer, I design and built off road rally vehicle (like these on Dakar BAJA racing) and race in China. Therefore, from the very beginning, I was looking to build a simulation platform that can ...

Hello Community, after a lot of reasearch in the internet and many hours struggeling with the x-sim software i fainally got an Arduino code which is suitable for getting out many racegame values. I am now able to get out all the data which i need and be able to send these to my Arduino.

Below I send some screenshots of my X-Sim converter setup.
Unfortunately i am not able to upload here my X-Sim ...

Hi everyone!

The improved version of my G-Seat is finally finished!

I call it the Motion Integrated G-Seat as it combines the strengths of a motion platform with those of a G-Seat and integrates them into one single system. It is thereby able to deliver an unprecedented sensation of intense, swiftly reversible and sustainable feeling of motion and acceleration in all axes.

Find out more about the seat on my website: http://bergisons.simpit.info/motion-integrated-g-seat.

So I got a Thrustmaster T300RS to use on Driveclub VR on PSVR. It was pretty fun for a bit, but I got tired of the gameplay pretty quick. So, I took my PSVR to the PC, installed Trinus PSVR, got it dialed in the best I could and installed Project Cars 2. A huge improvement over Driveclub! The FFB is so much more real and the game in general is a lot better. ...

And it begins!!

Motors totally refurbished and in perfect shape..

All parts needed is collected.

2-3 dof no plan how the frame will be designed, this is fun guys! :DD

Will do my best to keep the cost really really low, would be amazing if those that don´t have the founds for a moving rig to get it done anyways.
