Picked up my shaft reducers for my position sensors. They came out great. I had them put 3 set screws around the circumference on the gearbox shaft and the sensor shaft side. Thanos mentioned it would be easier to adjust the center point if we are able to rotate the shaft reducer during setup. I started running the wire for the sensors, need to get some stuff at the store tomorrow to route the wire neatly back to my inverter box.
Some pics below.........

Hi all,
I'm pretty much done with my lower platform. I ran all the wires as you can see in the photos. I like that they came out, nice and neat. Tripping hazard otherwise. I ran my sensor wires into my cabinet. Once my board comes in from Thanos I'll be ready to hook it all up and run some tests. I took a lot of photos at different angles.
Good times ahead, I hope!!

For those following my thread, I had the electrical panel installed today. You'll notice the panels in the top of the picture. Here in the US we use 110v as standard power, I think outside the US they use 210-230? I had to run 6 220v, 20 amp circuits, one for each motor. I'm getting that much closer to testing. Waiting for my board from Thanos, my brake resistors and my 24v power supply.
I'll keep you posted.......

Hey... I see there is a "baby" 6DOF platform on the floor, next to the big one

The baby does not eat much but it keeps me awake at night.

My 300w 200ohm brake resistors came in. I installed them as you can see in the pics. Once my board comes in I can hook it up to see how she moves!!

Stevant, What are the dimensions on your upper platform? These dimensions on Fabi's page are not very clear to me. I am building using his dimensions as I believe you are as well.
Thanks again

Stevant where in the US are you located? It seems like most people building motion sims are elsewhere in the world and those who are in the US all seem to be out west. I'm in NorthEast Pennsylvania near Scranton.

Long Island...New York
I can give you the exact dimensions. The important dimension is the distance between the upper ball joints. I can call you if you like.....PM me your number if you want to chat.

Yay you are on the same coast as me =) I have a strange aversion to talking on the telephone, even more strangely this aversion doesn't extend to TS3 which makes no sense. I have a TS3 server we can use if you are up for that we can set up a time to chat but I won't be available until Sunday afternoon.
If you don't do Teamspeak I can suck it up and deal with the phone, Sunday or some time during the week.
Trip
