Anyway, it looks good, show us the moves!

I think it has to do with the price tag of 3DOF and 6DOF that has dropped a lot lately...

Hello guys,
maybe tomorrow will post a video of the first test run ...

if we can solve the problem that we have seen;
when the system is under power (24Vdc), randomly on '"xsim2" (we do not have internet connection in the box :roll:

) comes a write error on a COM, the 3 in our case that sends us stalled everything! :evil:

you know what it could be? maybe the parameters of plugins for the game,
or the port settings? ... oooor

if it has happened to someone let us know how to fix it ... thanks
Basthard

What controller are you using? Maybe its currents leaking from the motors and cause most of the interfaces USB "fuse" to disconnect...

Give some more details about what you have connected where and we might help find what's wrong.

If you can't afford to donate for the x-sim3 offline version, you could make a 3 page presentation of your simulator project to get an offline key. The old x-sim2 version is not very compatible with 64-bit or windows 8... and that might be another reason!

Best Regards,
Thanos

Thanks Thanos,
we are using 4 Pololu High-Power Motor Driver 24v23 CS
connected directly to the engine without any sort of insulators ...
we have them connected to the AMC 1.6 with the latest firmaware ...

We work with two PCs in the LAN network, one for games that running with win7 64bit, while the other that drives the AMC 1.6 running win7 32bit.
The Connection between the AMC and the Pololu has been done correctly, I think,
we know that no-load operation is perfect, continuously without jamming!

There is some doubt about just setting the time on the USO screen ...
maybe it is them that does not work?

thanks
then attach photos / videos if we can not solve ....
