Hi Stijn,
its so interesting seeing your Simulator growing 
As the simulator is part of your graduation, Do you have a fixed date it has to be finished?
Have you already managed to run the Odrive and Simtool together?
kind regards
Peter W.
Hi,
I did design it myself but I haven’t simulated it, I’ve drawn it in Autodesk Inventor

Hi,
I do indeed have a fixed date, but I don’t know it by hard, it is somewhere by the end of may. I’ve not really looked into the ODrive, because it isn’t that hard for me normaly.

Hi all,
Little update on my project, all the parts from the actuators are ready, time to start on the frame.
now it’s time to program the odrives, I hope you guys ar willing to help me

Looks very nice! Congrats. Looking forward to a video of it hooked up to a game/sim :D.
Hi
I’m planning on doing that tomorrow.
Cheers
hi Stijn!
looks really great 
. I am keen on seeing it with load and running with the FlyPT Plugin! - Positive results will be the kick-off for my project (going from prototype to to real 6DOF-sim)

And … It works!!!

Wow! Great work! Congrats!
You finally made it. Great.
Hi Stijn, great work, looks impressive and it seems you finished the project on time
Jerry
Omg, really cool! Good work.
Hi Stijn!
Now as you have finished your sim some weeks ago, I am asking myself wether you might share some of your experiences with the community?
…regarding Odrive,
…regarding working with the FlyPT software,
…regarding your actuators and your sim, …
…What power supply do you use? You said that current ist so important.
…What vel_limit do you use? With my current power supply I can use max. 400000 (cpr is 8192) - so aprox 250mm/s.
…How good is the immersion together with VR?
So lot of questions… hope you have some time to tell us something!
kind regards
Peter
Hi, I will try to answer them as good as possible:
After a lot off try’s I got the end switches working. Because I’m using FlyPT without SimTools, I needed to put the actuators in the middle position before sending position commands (because there is no offset option in FlyPT) so I did that with the offset in the endswitch software.
The FlyPT software was not so hard to set up, you can look on my xsimulator project page and on the xsimulator FlyPT page how I did it. Just make sure you don’t put a space inbetween the commands because it doesn’t work that way!
My actuators work great and the frame is very steady.
First I used a power supply from school and it drew a maximum of 35A with a person (not me) the had a weight of 110kg. My power supply now is 24V 50A because I don’t think that I will go over that limit.
My actuators are not so fast at this moment because I’ve not had the time yet to make them faster, but they can be very fast but I don’t know what I will put them on.
The VR is great! Recommended!
If you need help with FlyPT, send me some screenshots off what you have. I you have any more questions, shoot .
Cheers
