........UPDATE4........31.01.2013........
PROTOTYP IS READY!
Now it´s time, to make it beautiful

* Make wheels on it
* Built a handbreak
* Some work on the balance
* clad in aluminum sheet
* clean weld and paint frame --> half way done, Primer is applied
* electrical cables neatly laid
* mount the PC and the controllerhousing
* mount 3x24" LED Displays
* bass-shakers
the handbreak (e-break) is a self-construction:
Here can u see the finished handbreak:
The bassshakers are also came to me. But i´ve to isolate them, because when i gave power to the shakers, my G25 breaks down.
........UPDATE3........11.01.2013........
First RUN !
Now i´m using 2 Pololu 12V12 controller, because AMC 1.6 Controller dont want to do his job. That was so easy to configure, i like this things.
i was measuring 10Ampere Peak on my wiper´s, is this in a normal area? Whats your experience with other wipers?
I´m so happy that its working, so far.
Here can you see the first testdrive-video:

i think it´s working very good, now it´s time to make it handsome

Next Steps:
* Make wheels on it
* Built a handbreak
* Some work on the balance
* clad in aluminum sheet
* clean weld and paint frame
* electrical cables neatly laid
* mount the PC and the controllerhousing
* mount 3x24" LED Displays
i hope you enjoy the progress of my Sim!

More updates coming soon
........UPDATE2........20.12.2012........
It´s going on!
here can you see my special wiper-mod: I´m really, really proud on this Mod.
I removed the shaft and on my lathe i cutted a thread into the back. In this M3 thread, I then glued a screw, which is connected to the potentiometer. So I can now operate the pot without gears in the ratio1:1.
More stuff coming soon!
........UPDATE1........28.11.2012........
I will put the newer posts on the top, like floriske´s beatiful thread, to keep it clear.

Hy guy´s!
I have some updates and i want to show it to you:
My simulator-control was built in an old PC-Case (not finished), which contains:
2 12V 125W power supplies
2 ralay 12V 10A (for safety switch)
some electrical terminals for 5VDC, 12VDC and 24VDC
1 AMC 1.6 (coming soon)
1 Simple dual h-bridge 1.2b
USB hub (not shown here)
USB creativ 7.1 soundcard (not shown here)
The main-switch and the display for the AMC-controller will be mounted on the cap of the case.
I also mounted the springs in the front and back:
the main pillars are also prepared for montage:
........STANDARD........15.11.2012........
Hy!
I want to apologize right at the beginning for my bad english

here i will show you my new projekt. Well, i´m trying to build my own 2DOF racing SIM.
So, thats my setup:
software: is clear --> X-Sim 3
hardware: i´m using Vellemann K8055 in kombination with the H-bridge from Thanos, which is not aleady finished yet.
the framework is largely built with 25x25 mm pipes.
The Wiper motor´s are from a BMW E36 Limo Bj. 95
Logitech G25 for sure
So i want to show you some pic´s of the currently status:
This was a useless sample drawing in ACAD.
then I realized that I should not draw, but build

Here you can see, the finished etched H-bridge
i also began to built the seat as well.
a bit try and measure
ans so it became slowly a simulator
i hope you enjoy this projekt and want to see more, i will give you some update, as soon as possible.

with best regards
mario
