- Hello ! A little speachless demo as usual, with the latest revision of my soon to be released belt tensionner desing !
Don't bare the casual sunday t-shirt and my poor driving, being watched even by a non human device always makes me do mistakes :D
Things gets ready, stay tuned for the plan release !
Update : All the plans are available on the simhub discord in the experimental-belt-tensionner channel : / discord - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This is awesome. And i have built this from your recipe on Sim Hub Dash. It's a blast and works like a charm. This is what I call haptic deluxe. Big thanks for sharing this.
Avid user of simhub. Waiting for this. Great work!
That’s brilliant, another variation on what I’ve seen before, but quite brilliant. Looks very effective, and can be subtle.
Impressive as usual, 3D printing it as we speak. Thank you for sharing and adding more and more to the simhub environment.
Where did you get the files/plans?
Super idée, merci pour ce boulot, je suis admiratif de ton travail
Looking forward to building this. Simhub is amazing!
Another great piece of work!
Perfect. I will start the project in a few days. Looks great. Thanks.
Just amazing, as alwayas !! Another great feature.
I can’t wait to test it out, keep up the hard work brother 😓
Well! That looks amazing. Subscribed! I love the diy community
I stay very tuned!; looks great!; I hope I can rebuild my existing servo set; with Arduino one; small controller, and 12V 5A power supply ....
Looks good and fun!
Superbe ce tensionneur,je suis entrain de commande d Allemagne sa arrive bientôt merci pour ton tuto , et le partage frero
I'm wanting to do a belt tensioner using hover board motors using the size of the hub for leverage and the belt attached like a reel that reals in the slack is this possible using the standard Arduino code on the website in the simhub belt tension plugin?
Would I just use a rotary hall sensor or a liner one?
Make sure to add some sort of emergency stop. This looks awesome!
Indeed, security has always been a concern when i started,I added some security features : the motor is downvolted to reduce max torque to an acceptable max value, the physical arrangement prevents it for pulling infinitely, and the sketch will stop if it fails to calibrate the zero point. I also plan to add the typical emergency stop button for such kind of powerful devices.
Decouple the belts from the motor with a spring or bungie cord. This may dampen the effect a little but provides the means to not over tighten and trap a person in the seat.
So looking for a Tutorial + Shopping List for my Simlab + SF1 Seat
Can the Nema's be driven off my Thanos?
Looks great, a lot cheaper than commercial offerings, definitely looking to add this to my SFX-100 soon.
I also built it. But the Stepper Motors are getting damn hot. Any idea how to cool?
I could put some blades on the rear axle of the motor, although I would need to make a hole with threads for the axle. I want to do it at the end of the year, and if I notice that it gets hot, I will modify it, and if it is worth it, I will publish it...
Any update? I’d love to try this at home
Imagine making an error in your calculations by factor of ten or something and during testing at the end of a long straight it severs both your arms at the shoulder! Only kidding fella, great work :-)
I did :D by a 100 factor, Fortunately the motors are correctly sized, enough for a good torque not enough to hurt you :D
LMAO I was thinking the same thing as I was watching this. Really neat invention.
Where I can find documentation about this?
Great project! Can you provide some wire gauge info? Building this now.
Hey man. Did you ever finish this? Planning on starting this soon
@@nicklarosa3816 i used 18 awg for the steppers and 22 awg for the rest. Somebody on the discord mentioned this
@@alexvanderplas1981 yeah I hopped on the discord and saw you in there. I’m about to order everything to set mine up. Are you happy with the results?
@@nicklarosa3816 haven't really tested it yet. Just a couple of laps. It was a pain to get working and still have some calibration issues. Something to do with sensitivity settings I hope. I think in combination with a motion platform(sfx100) it will really be good, so I'm building that now
I completed mine yesterday and the only headache I had was with one of the hall effect sensors being faulty and resulting in braking the sensor plate.
Swapped it out and boy this is actually better than I expected.
I use it with a nlr v3 and it really does add to the immersion.
hey. Hows this getting along
looking good Yo
Amazing wotever!
This looks so cool.. how did it feel? is this already been in de latest release? because then its time for another project :)
Did you need the arm mechanism purely to get enough throw?
Not totally, it's a security feature as is because it provides physical endstop when it hits the frame, it's also a way to make it more compact because the levers are going over the motor, and it's also minimalist in term of hardware, just a coupler and a few bolts. ... And the last but not the least ... It looks cool to my eyes :D
An offset concentric rotating hub will do the same thing and could reduce some the stress on the motor shaft.
@@zegreatclan I agree on the looks cool part. Unfortunately it's not going to be a linear pull across the range but that may not be perceptible.
Is it quiet or noisy for playing at night with people and neightbours sleeping "around" you?
It's relatively quite and absolutely brilliant.....big thank you for making this available to everyone
Cool thing!
Will I be able to build my own or can I buy it as a finished product from you?
Hello ! As usual I will keep on the diy side :D, I will release models/part list and code.
Any news on the project?
Hi ! All the plans are available on the simhub discord in the experimental-belt-tensionner channel : discord.gg/nBBMuX7
Hi, i'm searching for such a solution ! can u imagine producing and selling the stuff especially the 3d-printing stuff ... i don't have a 3D printer and skills ... thanx in advance
PLA?
Pla works fine....I used the creality black basic pla and the gold silk pla and it's held up to 6 hours on the green hell .... .so should last a lifetime
C'est prometteur :)
this makes no sense to me to use belt tentioners for left and right to simulate motion which should be done by motion simulation via a 2, 3 or 6 dof system (whatever).... no belt in the world will pull left or right on your car ;D ... it makes sense to simulate G-force for acceleration or breaking, so it pull you back into the seat .... and so you need only one motor to pull both sides simultaneously
I thought the same so built it expecting to only use it for braking but when you try it as shown here it actually gives you a lot of feedback as to what the wheels/suspension is doing.
Two motors are always better than one as the load is spread.
Maybe try a system like this before making conclusions like that. It absolutely makes sense and you really do feel like it's real when you use it.
oh, that looks like the one i actually may look into doing 😲🤔🫡
