Kangaroo sabertooth 2x25 FlightSim

[DannyT]

Hello everbody,

 

I would like to introduce my motion project. It is basically based on a sabertooth 2x25A motor controller and a kangaroo V2 by Dimension Engineering.

 

I managed to tune the controller combination successfully, so it seems to be a closed servo system by *

The motion platform is build on wood, but stable enough to move and carry the full payload of a Flightsimulator.

On the bottom I used a tyre to carry the most payload. In the front there are two electronic actuators which can handle the movement without no problems.

A bit slow, but enough speed for an airliner.

The position feedback is solved by a diy linear range potentiometer, in order to give feedback of the full travel range of the actuators.

I hope that my project can help some guys to find their own solution.

 

Greetings
Danny

Great idea of position sensing! Hope you could share the result effectiveness of your design.

I would like to try this machine very much. Do not know how much you bought it.

This is a good read. I think everyone who reads must get the good knowledge from it.
