Hi everyone i have started to build a 6 degree of freedom motion simulator it is for racing games and slight simulation as long as it is in the gaming software and works on PC games i have just started to build the upper frame and will build a base have wheelchair motors with right angle gearbox i need to put encoders on . I bought a control box with software and some motor controllers the electronics will be tough for me but i like that . this is a video of what i am building even though mine might not look exactly like it .

Oh man... that's been one of my dreams for the past 15 years... To build a 6-DOF motion platform.

Absolutely awesome! What are you using for the software and controller?
Don't be intimidated by electronic. It's just like plumbing, you'll love o ce you wrap your head around it! Best of luck and keep us posted.

Hi guys i am using this guys controller and software https://www.tindie.com/prod...o-motion-controller/ i started building the platform but need 20 more feet for the base and top . back about 20 years ago i had a 2 axis rock n roll simulator so this should be way more fun and that one was fun but it only worked with windows 98

So is this like a diy "I"racing thing. instead of ,just getting the kit shipped to you?

Would love to have one of these for Iracing, don't think momma would be happy with the noise though. Plus still getting use to using the Oculus, i could imagine how that would work. Good luck and definitely keep this updated.

I am curious. As someone who has trouble shot, programmed, designed and built CNC machines I wonder how the actual 6 degrees of motion platform is linked to the videos. There must be a translation program of some type to convert the scenes on the monitor to motion of the platform. To me it would be fairly easy to build the actual platform, but to do the coordination with the video would be the problematic part. So is there an answer to this or is it just custom programmed for each video?

the game needs to have motion / feedback code writing in it's software or it will not work and there is a program software and firmware to run the platform [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 12-26-2019).]
