It's true that this is a "school" project, but we started it as a school project only because school could offer us young guys (16 at the time) materials to build one (I have no idea where we would get all the materials to build a simulator at the time on our own) and we do not intend to stop working on it when we finish school (in just a few months). It's our passion and something we love working on so if there is a better solution to it than the k8055 we will use it as soon as we can! We don't want this just to be a simulator to entertain kids who want to attend school. We want it to work as a good simulator that we know is accurate and works as it should.
Therefore I have to thank you for all the info. I will try to contact him and see if that controller would be right for us!
Also I forgot to mention that we use two sets of 5/3 valves, so we are able to use 2 speeds. Would that make the movement more precise and stable?
We experimented with 2 speeds a little but nothing worth showing off...
Also I do not understand the part of the program that switches between two speeds. Does it switch the speeds based on the math values or based on the pot position?
