- Some footage of the calibration tests of Richard's platform. Some additional calibration is needed in the software side (Ian's BFF 6DOF) but it already beats commercial platforms with its performance! I had to limit the motors max speed to 50% cause in some cases it kicks really hard!

Great work! I've just received my developer kit oculus rift. With what you've done so far, I urge you to get one. This looks like a marriage made in heaven!
This is my dream platform. Hopefully one day... :)
We made light years of progress since that platform, see how we build them now:

Thanks! It will get better. That was the result of just a few hours of initial calibrations.
I could see how to a normal person that sounds high, but from the research I've done, that sounds like you have done your homework! I'm very impressed with those numbers for sub-$5k. I'll try to get in touch with you when i have a chance, I would (personally) like to make a setup similar with a A-10C Cockpit.
Thanks, and very impressive work.
How much time and money do you have into this project so far? I'm in Texas, USA and I'd love top build one of these at some point for a couple different sims.
Can you tell me what motors/gearboxes and vfd's you are using? I am starting a 6dof build myself.
Wow.. nice work.. sure with I had a spare $4000 So will you try this with Oculus Rift V.R headset ?
Are those VFDs at the bottom of the setup driving the motors ?
How you interface those with your micro controller (analog signal or serial )
and what type of micro controller are you using ?
Hi Hossam, have a look at my blog for more information: motionsim.blogspot.com
2014 alli va netracer....Thanos una excelente persona...comenzamos nuestros proyecto con el...
Hi Cameron, The cost of the platform (motors, vfd inverters, mechanical parts) was about $4000. About 10 times less than the commercial ready solutions out there, and 2 times more powerful. It can lift 900lbs load in full speed. If you are truly interested in something like that you can contact me on my email
Best Regards,
Thanos
Where do you buy this stuff? Very interested.
This is old development, there is new controller now that supports less expensive but more accurate and powerful servomotors. Check my blog for links and info: motionsim.blogspot.com
About exporting accelerations real time from x-plane, is it possible? It seems that's what you're doing. I'm working on a University project to build a flight simulator with a cockpit and motion platform, and we are hesitating whether to use x-plane or flightgear as the software.
Yes, we retrieve real time acceleration and rotation data, combined altogether with Classic washout filters and 6DOF inverse kinematics math to position the platform to the correct motion cues.
Cool, thanks, I wanted to know if it was possible to do with x-plane. We're probably going to go with FlightGear anyway cause we're cheap, but thanks for the info!
I like the design of that one. How much did that cost to build? Looks expensive.
Matt Smith The material cost for this platform was $4500. It uses durable industrial 1.5HP AC motors and heavy duty Gearboxes. Plus industrial quality Hitachi WJ200 2HP VFD inverters.
Thanos 6DOF motion sim electronics That's a little pricey but not to bad.
Matt Smith it is saving cost if you DIY. Such solid 6DOF platform made in China starts at $15000, while locally in USA can start at $35000 !!! Have a look around and you will see some crazy prices!
I made my own 6DOF Servo Signal Conditioner circuit ( 6 channel analog -11v to +11v converter) for example that costs $180, while in the market you find similar signal conditioners that cost $200 for just 2 channels!!!
How big is the footprint? How much floor space does that take up?
Matt Smith you can see dimensions here: motionsim.freeforums.net/thread/176/dof-step-diy-project-blueprints
900 pound load? Sounds like a good over-engineering margin that should result in long service life for those drive units.
I cant give you link here, have a look on my blog (its listed on my youtube channel page).
how many watts ? can you tell?
0.750kw each motor (1HP)
what kind of motor are you using? and i want to know the other controller,power source.thank you
For info look at my blog: www.motionsim.blogspot.com
Thanos 6DOF motion sim electronics do you sell this?
andy sky No, I don't sell complete platforms. I can only provide the motion controller. Read more here: motionsim.blogspot.com/p/projects.html

Thanos 6DOF motion sim electronics does your motion controller suppports Simtools software?
I would make a 6 dof simulator but can i use 220 AC motor whit thanos ?
Yes, contact me to send you links to solutions for AC motors with worm gears, or even AC Servomotors on linear actuators (newest development). You can find my contact on my blog: motionsim.blogspot.com/p/links-and-info.html
@@tronicgr thank you and sorry i am an Italian boy and i don't speak englisch very well
@@giogecc8222 No worries, I'm Greek myself, learned English only a few years ago. You can use Google translate, it helps a lot.
@@tronicgr exactly
this stuff is more expensive than actual flying lessons :)
***** mmm wouldnt go that far...the budget its about 4K if im not mistaken... US dollars... and i spend 53 K to get my commercial certificate....
What am I hearing that sounds like a car horn?
That's the airplane stall alarm
Ohhhhhh. Humm. I also fly X-Plane 11 in VR and I didn't recognize it on this video. Thanks for the help!!!!!
this looks awesome ......you crash a lot though
We were just testing the motors, we had to crash it to get the stronger motion cues to the platform.
do you make Simtool board?
If you are talking about the motion controller, yes I can offer the AMC1280USB. See more details here: motionsim.blogspot.com/2016/12/redesign-of-amc1280usb-motion.html
and here:
motionsim.blogspot.com/p/links-and-info.html
andy sky yes, it supports simtools as well. there are many people on xsimulator forum that own the controller and using it on their 6dof platforms. it's the only controller that can be used also with Ian's BFF 6dof and the other x-sim3 motion software. see last link I gave for more info on that.
thank you. by the way, is there step by step to build 6 dof very detail guide? I saw few people build thead pages but its not giving very detail information for me to fully understand step by step. For example, i have to know exactly where all 6 motors has to mount on the floor board. Is there detail build thread page you recommend?
