Hi guys! I have got a very nice cluster from a Mercedes A-Class W176 and I'm looking for information on how it's possible to drive it via CAN communication? If not I would be forced to drill and plug straight onto the motors like switec motors tests I achieved... but that would be quite disappoiting 24632 24639 24638 ...

I was surprised and happy to see the F1 24 plugin available yesterday. I had a few problems but it is working now. When I installed it I got “not a valid directory” warning. I decided to try F1 22 and it worked. When I went back to home F1 24 was in the menu where I had expected F1 22 to show up. I clicked run on the F1 24 icon and it started F1 24. Once started the feedback was not hooked up. Fortunately there is a nice telemetry menu under the game settings. As you might... F1 24 Working Now ..read more

Hi , Am willing to use 2 Arduino for my 3 DOF (3 motors) ,2 for Pitch and roll and am willing to use 3rd motor for traction loss ,because the 3rd motor is not handle by the one Arduino as the 1st 2 motors so Am thinking by using 2nd Arduino for 3rd motor or even use 4th motor to get heave ,maybe ,so how to set 2 Arduino for work together did I need 3rd Arduino or just using USB hub which might ( AFFECT THE SPEED OF RESPONSE) of the Arduino ,does any body did that please to help me with... 2 arduino ..read more

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time posting. I have recently completed a DIY rig build (2dof with traction loss) loosely based on D Max's design. So far, everything is working as planned with the exception of the motor drivers not being able to handle the load of the 1200 watt motors (go figure). I'm having an issue when first powering on the rig. When the rig is off everything sags to the bottom of the travel limit. This happens to be outside the available travel range of...

As title, SimTools crashes everytime I start iRacing. SimTools is definitely working as Assetto Corsa is fine. I've tried updating the plugin and removing and repatching the game but nothing seems to fix it. Any help appreciated. Thanks Fred ..read more

Hi there! Im thinking of going from a SFX 200mm to a steward platform like PT movers or Silentchill. Currently i have 3 ST90 for the SFX and 2 ST60 servo motors + 2 wheelchair motors on my Gseat. Since i already have 3 getting 3 more would probably be the cheapest way to do this but i would also like to repurpose them for my Gseat. The main thing for me right now though is the power usage. And well EMI as its an ongoing issue. My current setup is on average 140w What are the pro's... Odrive VS AASD-15 Servo motors. Power usage. EMI. pros and cons ..read more

hello good day I'm new to the topic I hope you can help me. A few months ago I bought a motion platform of 6 DOF in China but I really have no idea how to link it with FSX or Prepar3D, the only thing that is that if it includes the actuators, the drives, and the control board, I know that we have to Link to the PC through a network cable. which I already did but obviously I lack some onterface software and how it would add the values. I would be grateful if you could help me. I attached some... help with 6 DOF platform ..read more

On the forum I could not find the information how to operate AC Servo-Driver via SimTools ? I have three-axis servo driver DORNA EPS - M1 : https://www.yoycart.com/Product/537908559744 This servo driver is controlled by RS485 Connecting RS485 to computer possible by "USB to RS485" adapter: https://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/usb-to-rs485-converter - but the question is how to operate AC Servo-Driver via SimTools ? 51802 51803 ..read more

Hi just starting my Sim entry after seeing some videos of the brilliant DIY's that are out there and me not realizing DIY motion Sim was a thing! So limited budget and wanting realistic feel I will be almost 100% DIY. I have fabrication and electronics experience already, I will be making a Handbrake, Shifter(not sure if Seq or H yet), and pedals My question i am hoping some knowledgeable people can answer is, Do I need an Arduino 32u4 for each Peripheral? or Can I say put 1 Pro mini in the...
