Throttle parts - Motorized by servos

[fordgt40]

I did not say that 15rpm equals 5 secs!!!

I said that you need a motor of around 15 rpm and that you need to complete the throttle movement across its range in 5 secs. From these parameters you can calculate the gearing between the motor and throttle lever pulleys.

Hi

Ok, sorry missunderstood at that point so now I will calculate the gearing!

Hi

If are comparing a real throttle are the:
Start pos... good at 40deg...
End pos... good at 100deg...

Hi

I have look at phidgets dc motor and I have not find so many but this maybe can be a good choice?

I have look at the gearing and understood its logical structure etc. etc !

The first link looks ok as you do not need the extra cost of an encoder as in the second link
How are you going to achieve manual overide?
Glad you now understand the "gearing"

Hi

As for controller:
http://www.phidgets.com/products.php...duct_id=1065_0
http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1064

It seams that the controller 11065_0 can controll the direction of the motor?

For manual overide I have think this joystick card can match: http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/p...FDS-FC1-V1.pdf ?

I thinking for the pot...: http://www.simparts.de/epages/154657...ducts/700-4000

I think that you need to slow down a little and stop picking components

Have you checked how to programme phidgets, can it easily access fsuipc offsets?
Have you checked other h/w such as Opencockpits and sioc control language?
Does your preferred motor control programme have all the commands that you will need?
When I asked about manual overide I meant a slip clutch. With a geared motor it is highly unlikely that you will be able to move the levers by hand

Have you designed the layout of the throttle, its gearing (direct gears or belt and pulleys etc) and how to install the pots - coupled by direct drive gears or other

This could be very expensive if you select components at this stage

Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but trying to help you have a disciplined approach to what is a quite complex project

Hi

I begin this way because I need to know the cost of the project but maybe there are the wrong way to start?

The thought was to know what I need if phidgets is not the way to go

Phidgets sites has a good product range to look for the correct components so that is way I beging in this way?

I have not found a developer where you do not have to program//

No problem

I have checked other developer, it seams that none else have that wide range of products like phidgets has?

If there is a developer who are given sutch program: "Does your preferred motor control programme have all the commands that you will need?"

I will take it if it works with fsuipc?

FSUIPC is a overalls condition//
