Hi there,
today i started with my new project, builing a 6dof steward platform with the arduino mega 2560 controller.
i will regularly post my progress to keep u all updated

Hi,

Not to be harsh, but good luck solving the USB bulk transfer issues with the transceiver on the arduino mega 2560... it does not use ftdi chipset and its not stable. I tried it long time ago and it was resetting every few seconds. Perhaps you will need to add extra USB to serial converter... or limit the baud to 56k

Thanks
Thanos

So maybe its better to use the Arduino ATmega1280 witch has a FTDI chip onboard Thanos

Are these stepper motors?
