Re: 6DOF home motion platform
Hi Thanos,
Markus did a great job! seems he and I are working with similar actuator designs.
Nice to see the rig in action, and definitely great motion. Can't wait to get mine up and running, but building 6 actuators is a lot of work. The sawdust has settled, and now I have 6 boxes, but metal works still need to be mounted.
Looking forward to your PWM controller!

Fabi uploaded more videos of this platform after calibrations of the VFD inverters and the PID settings on the AMC1280USB:

He is using Ian's 6DOF BFF software on the above video.

Re: 6DOF home motion platform
I have been building my motion base based on Thanos controller ..... i must say he is simply awesome when it comes to support and guidance. so far i am 1.5 years into this project but the end is near .......

Another happy 6DOF platform builder (Steven for NY).

Platform needs calibration, just a test video...

Re: 6DOF home motion platform
Hi very nice project, I have just one question ,
most platforms are build for one man and a chair ,
is it the limitation of weight and inertia, how much weight can it take and move around?
regards Henk

Hi Henk,
These platforms are engineered for max load 500kg, but I've seen a really good stress test recently on one of them:

There are bigger ones in progress, with max load 1200kg like the one that Mike is building for a 737NG cockpit. More info about his project here: http://motionsim.blogspot.com/2014/0...r-project.html
Thanks
