- This video is demonstrates how to begin wiring up your DIY motion simulator - the electronic components - the aruduino uno, the IBT-2 motor controllers, the hall effect sensors.. I'm just showing you how I do this and what problems you may encounter.. It's a bit of a long video for me but if you really are interested in DIY motion simulators, like this 3DOF DIY motion simulator I showed how to make in the "compact" motion simulator series, then this video is for you.. please comment as I do attempt to cover even the most basic soldering, what to order, how to do it etc..

other motor controllers you could consider using are JRK12V12 or Sabertooth but I use IBT-2's

Thanks for all of your hard work. I think the most important thing that you have done is including part numbers and where to get the parts. Yours is the first site that has done this and is crucial to figuring out what and where to get the parts.
I just watched your latest video and want to bring some information to you. Watching you soldering directly on an Arduino Uno R3 was horrifying. One slip and you could ruin it.
Might I suggest a diferent method. Search on amazon for an "arduino screw shield for Uno r3". A screw shield is a daughtercard that slips into the I/O pins of the Uno. You just slide the wire in and tighten down the small screw. You will never have to bring your soldering iron close to your board again.
There are many different types of shields for various Arduinos.
Again, I would like to thank you for showing me a path to build my own 3dof cockpit.
Yeah.. I was worried about that too.. soldering on the arduino or any pcb .. but they always seem to pull through for me.. I do have the 'shield's I'll put one in the next video.. or suggest it.. Just cause I've been lucky doesnt mean someone else will and blow a $30 board.. Good point.. and I'll mention it for sure.. Dave
Excellent tutorial! These types of tutorials are absolutley the best thing about UA-cam. Great job man!
Thank you.. i'm taking a break but i'll be back pretty soon
@@DMAX_DIY enjoy the time off!
I am learning a lot and at the same time having a great time watching your videos, I hope to build my own motion sim.
Great comment. Once you understand the basics and where to get the parts etc.. your on the right path. Just take your time. It's a lot of fun! Dave
Thank you so much from Italy, I am now building a similar one thanks to your brilliant ideas ❤
Very cool comment Livio Lucaci.. Yeah they just take a while to get all the parts together but man they are incredibly fun and immersive once they are going! Dave
I completed the welding and assembly of my frame, motor, seat, etc. Only the wiring part left. Many thanks for your very useful videos! Really easy to follow so far!
I'm uploading a new video now that should help eliminate a lot of the wiring.. I've been working on it for a couple weeks now and hopefully you have time to watch.. Its the Ultimate SMC3 - Simtools - Assetto tutorial.. Dave
Psssh haters gonna hate. If someone thinks a video is “unwatchable”… then they don’t have to watch it 🤷🏻♀️ I’d like to see them attempt to make a video like this and see how hard it is lol. Your content is invaluable to all the people you’re inspiring and helping. Keep on keeping on, man 😎
Your the best B! appreciate your support! Pssssh.. hahah! DMAX
Unwatchable? Then don't watch! I think your style is incredibly watchable. It's on yourtube, if its moving too slow skip ahead. I would rather have too much info than not enough. I see too many DIY vids where people assume a level of knowledge that I might not have on a subject. Ya know what? If you do have the knowledge a review isn't going to kill you! Keep up the good work Dave.
I hope to get back to my build soon. Got delayed with repairing one of my real pinball machines, finishing up my virtual pinball and some house projects
Yeah projects projects projects.. I have a few too.. most them like building a screen room will take me a few weekends too.. What year and kind of pinball machine are you workin on?.. They are mechanically and electrically pretty fascinating! Dave
@@DMAX_DIY I have a 1991 Bally Dr Dude that needs a little TLV(I am going to do incandecent to led swap for all lights, needs new bushings and rubbers, prolly test all the coils and replace anything that looks like it on its last legs). Also have a Black Knight Sword or Rage Pro(its from 2019) that needs all the rings and rubber replaced,.. I have the set just need to take the glass off and do it). The one that causes me the most strife is my brand new Scooby Doo... It has 3 bad MOSFETs . Working with the manufacturer to verify that is all that is wrong before they send me replacement parts... But cutting wires on my brand new $10,000 machine is making me nervous!
An okd trick we uswd when i was laying phone line in the army, when crossing an obsticle, always leave enouph to complete the crossing again +50%. Saves any joins if a repair is required. I still do it with any wires i use. Much love from across the pond. X
Agreed Terry.. USAF vet here and I've been in Telecom since I got out of service in 86.. Yep, it's a 'slack loop' very handy for re-terminating things if needed.. Great observation !! Dave
@D Max I knew you were ex Military. I don't know how, but we have a 6th sense for these things. Maybe its just that we have the balls to get on with things and give them our best shot, no matter the outcome. As long as we learn a lesson and carry it forward. Another funny fact, I got in to telecoms as well lol. More cable laying though. I was a

That's a cool Escort on the PC background D, oh and fantastic video!👍
Oh man Hippy's Place!! It's going to be a fun season.. Cant wait!! Thanks for watching and your comment! Dave
Hi, about pots (potentiometers) blue coloured multi turn ones can be used, those will need an additional pully conversion,(could be 3d printed or made from wood) for the accommodation of the multiple rotations, those are relatively cheaper, and relatively easy to come by.
And could be replaced as required, for the hall effects those are built for life.
There are 2 varients of those blue multi turn ones. One is for higher wattage just like Mr. Dave showing, another the smaller version more or less 1 by 2 cms ..yes in theory both of those could be used but smaller ones would be a hassle to work with.
Great comment neail. Agreed.. I just didnt want to complicate things with the pully conversion which I have seen.. This time I'm going to attempt to use those aluminum couplers.. I have some ordered and should arrive tomorrow for me to try out ( on my other rig first), then I put them on this new Compact sim design if the work as good as advertised!.. Thanks again my friend! Dave
@@DMAX_DIYSir, I am grateful, that you have found my advice helpful, I totally support your aim and approach to provide a solution for everyone, even to the absolute newcomers, that is how it differentiates between the good and great teachers.
And in the way I would make sure that the costs are not a barrier to entry and share any info I have .
Thank you for your response and all the efforts.
Thank you Dave for every episode of every series. I love the way you take the time to explain things simply and clearly. I have just started building a 3 DOF rig for helicopter flight simulation and I doubt that I would ever have started without the content that you provide.
Thanks Pete-zm4xp.. I appreciate the comment. I will be building a flight sim later in the year - potentially a heli 6dof in 2024.. but I am not there yet.. Still gotta finish up the new 'compact' sim and test it out. SHould have some time to build during the week of July 4 so - upcoming video coming out pretty soon.. Thanks again, Dave
@@DMAX_DIY Awesome Dave. Really looking forward to seeing how you are going to approach a 6DOF build. I know that will be another interesting series. Cheers.
Good Job Dave, That looks Tough.. well done
Thanks for the comment.. Yeah It's not tough for younger guys.. my main issue is not being able to see what the heck I'm doing.. cause I'm old.. but I will get it working.. just a matter of available 'time'.. Thanks again RacerXtcOnline! Dave
Thanks! From Joe: You know I’ve been watching your tutorials and the time that you spend on your video and teaching is outstanding and very personal to your viewers. Looking from the time line that 26:24 some people just like to Troll, just because of envious and jealousy for the amount of intelligence you have and patience. These type of people usually don’t amount to nothing just a paper weight in their life. I’m new to your channel, instantly subscribed. Love the amount of knowledge you share.
I just had to buy you a coffee man.
Cheers Dave from Joe
Whoever said your tutorials are unwatchabel are haters and you'll never satisfy them. This is great stuff. I've done it before but think it's just fine; especially when you're also moving towards the bigger picture. I hate detractors. I'm watching all your older videos to get a fresh idea; which you've successfully given me.
Thanks Yoofi.. I appreciate the boost! I still need to finish up the wiring video.. but have to be out of town for a bit.. So not sure when next one posting up but I will be giving away some of those Simtools pro licenses soon too.. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned if you can, Dave
Dave my brother do any type of sim video you want because I'm gonna watch and rewatch like I've done for some of your videos that are my favs. And as for the unwatchable tutorial comments, Haters are just out there. Just block them all and let them blow their homes following the instructions from those guys that don't explain ish. The new generation has no patience. Your true followers and watchers will watch. Keep going my friend. Be Well🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks my friend! I wish I could 'see' better.. Plus I just mowed the lawn and did a bunch of physical stuff out in the yard.. Probably should have had lunch before doing a video like that.. but Gotta start anyway.. Hope all is going good for you.. I'm going to really start concentrating on getting this new rig up and running .. So new videos soon. Very close.. cant wait.. should be great Hopefully.. I know a few guys have actually sent me videos of this design running so full steam ahead.. Thanks again! Dave
Thank you for your work! I appreciate these very much. You're probably the inspiration for me to start this too! no one shows it in as much detail as you! Please keep it up! greetings from Austria 👍👍👍
Thanks for the Great Comment!! after taking the summer 'off'.. I'm starting to work on the new Rig again.. (Compact sim design).. so I should be posting some more videos soon.. I'm in the process of 'wiring it up' to the controller and hopefully that helps someone out.. Dave
Thx Dave... i am going for my rig step by step, and you are like a master for me... keep up doing your great job... appreciate it so much...
Thanks for watching my videos.. Hope to have some new ones out this fall after I finish up a 'big house project I've been working on since July'.. Dave
Dave, you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you so much... i am on my way to build my first 2dof flight rig and want to finish it by october... your videos are so incredibly useful and explanatory to me. very very good
Thank you for the comment! Keep plugging along and these things are awesome when they are moving! Flight is my next design hopefully starting in 2024.. Dave
Cool Video
Thank you Nekot The Brave.. I appreciate you watching! DMAX
Love the videos!!!! When’s the next vid on the compact motion sim frame?
Heck Yah! Great question! So after wiring it up.. then on to the software to make it move.. and then bada boom.. should be moving it all.. not too far away.. just stay tuned if you can. Dave
Thanks Dave really helped me out
Thanks for the comment! Great to hear Dave
This is a Great Video. Thanx DMax
Excellent advice ;)
Thanks Wes Lewis! And the advice is FREE! 😃
Jesus Grampa, your getting coffee all over the table. what are you shaking for? Hope your getting paid Damn Good Dave, Keep going Buddy your almost there.. I want to see that DD in action
Yeah.. thanks buddy.. I just wish I could 'SEE" like I used to but - I have all dang day to do this so - no problemo.. Thanks for the comment!! Dave
Very good your videos
Nice work Dave !! Thanks for the update. From Dave @MotionSimBuilders 😋
Heck yah Dave.. She's coming together - for the 5th time.. err 5th rig.. Should be running soon if I can just prioritize more time.. Keep cool my friend! Dave
I'm so glad I found your channel. I had put off making a rig for the longest time, but your videos have made it so much easier to follow and understand. Where can I found the daigram for a 3 motor setup shown in the video? I can only seem to find the one for 2 dof found in the post linked below.
I can probably send you the 3 motor diagram.. It's pretty much the same as the 2 motor diagram, just line up the wires the same way for the traction loss motor.. my email is on most of the videos and I check email every couple weeks.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY Much appreciated! I have sent an email.
Thank you Dave.
hey dave i just started my diy 3 dof build i posted some pics in xsims page. hope to have mine done in the next few weeks
Sounds great.. It does take a little while to make it but well worth it.. Can you send a link here or how do I find your build on x sim? I'd like to take a look! Dave
@@DMAX_DIY it wont let me post a link. but ill email it to you.
@@bhager429 Ok.. just send it to max.motion.simulator@gmail.com Cool
Dave, love your content thank you so much for making it! Other than the gear motor, is there a lower cost wiper motor you recommend?
Hello Joe Six.. Thanks for watching and commenting. So I gave the wiper motors a shot and did a series on them.. unimpressive - or at least mine were - my motors were from a Saturn automobile (brand new but sadly. they were not convincing enough for me) and they were on a 'seatmover'.. just the seat.. not a full frame.. Perhaps others have had success.. maybe search x simulator.net.. but I did not. so the best advice I could give is perhaps using the wheelchair motors.. I did a series on that also and they did work for the 'seatmover'.. but wiper motors.. no. That's why I did the video series on them.. I wanted everyone to see they are not powerful enough (or at least mine were not).. Hope that helps.. Let me know which direction you are going to go in.. Dave
This is awesome. I was curious, for someone that might have a diy base or simple wooden 2x4 and plywood I wonder if we could add simple 2dof.
Great comment and question Vectorr66! Yes.. I would think that a 2DOF (seatmover) would do well in that situation.. You may lose a little bit of fidelity due to the wood absorbing some of the shock but I would give it a thumb up.. I may end up making one this winter and giving a comparison between the feeling of 'all steel' *metal* construction vs. wooden.. Thanks again.. Dave
Thanks
Hi, Chris here all the way from Lincoln in the UK. I absolutely love your videos.... you have inspired me to build my own racing sim, which I am currently attempting.
Keep the videos and info coming ......
@@christopherwilkinson6126 Thanks Chris!! I appreciate the super thanks my friend.. I really want to concentrate on getting this baby running in the next couple weekends.. So Probably finish up the big wires next video and SMC3 testing.. then after that SIMTOOLS.. oh yeah I do have some Simtools pro stuff to 'give away' so I may do a random drawing for the software.. I just need to remember to do it.. Hopefully I will be able to put in 'how to win' simtools pro on the next video.. I've given away several over the past coulple years.. Dave
Can you provide a link to an alternate potentiometer? The one given is from the UK.
Hey Dave, I decided to build a new sim from the ground up. I see Simtools has a Version 3 out. Looks like they made a lot of changes, by integrating the two manager programs together as one. Have you used it yet? Just wanted to know if you have any upcoming videos on it coming out in the near future?
Thanks!
Dustin had given me a copy to test. but I got real busy in my home life. so unfortunately have not tested it yet. (sorry Dustin). I took a break since July 4 to build an addition to my house so had to stop working on the new build but once I get back I'm going to try both versions of simtools on it. Hope to make a video or two about it. That's all I got for now.. Dave
Dave, I've been watching, rewatching and studying your videos, which I agree are the best around. I'm an old-ish retired guy, and using scrap I accumulated over 30+ years I've built a very ugly, very prototype rig to start with, just to check dimensions and get the concepts set in my mind. It is in now way safe to sit on yet. Now I'm ready to start with the electronics but I can't for the life of me find the 3-motor wiring diagram you used. Would you please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
In your video you talk about the Hall sensor that rotates 360 degrees, in the material listing you gave a link to the PN 987-1392-ND sensor which according to the description on the linked page has Rotation Angle - Electrical, Mechanical (0° ~ 180°, Continuous), could you confirm that the link is correct ?
Yes thats the correct one.. It means that it will only 'read' the signal on half (180 degrees) or the rotation. the other 180 degrees it does not read the signal.. The sensor can rotate around and around no physical restrains.. it will only read the signal for half of a rotation. since your motors only rotate about 160 degrees this is perfect. hope that helps.. Dave
Hey Dave. Question, In the 3dof do you have to configure the settings for every car or track that is driven? Or once you set the settings for the rig does it work with any car or track? Hope you are well!
Very good question.. - i did answer it on the episode 5 of ROAD RAGE.. but yes, once you set it up it's pretty good to go.. you can tune it to your preferences however whenever you want and save each config per vechicle.. but I dont do that.. Dave
Hello, author of the D Max channel. Will you be assembling a moving platform with 4 engines, like the author of the "the2jakes" channel? I like this option because the chair can fall down freely. But I can’t imagine how you can assemble it on the BTS7960.
Hi, I'm following your very interesting videos and I completed my project using softpots instead of potentiometers because I built actuators instead of using motors, have you ever used these softpots? do you find them reliable? Thank you
hi, the power supply shown in the diagram is a cctv psu, can that be used for this too?
Hi! Just a question, where would i wire up my emergency stop button?
Hi, I am running my main rig from One battery source. So I have the disconnect on the Positive wire, When I shut it off, it shuts off power to the motors. I have not had time to run my rig off power supplies yet, but I would imagine just running a relay for each PS and controlling the Relay with an Emergency on off switch. But I have not done that yet.. However it appears pretty straightforward.. Thanks for the question. Dave
I’d love to do this, but with a PS4 console. Any tips?
Hello! Do you know where I can get a wiring diagram for 4dof? Thank you
Well, I would start by typing in the search bar of the x-simulator.net forum.. I have not built one of those myself so I'm not sure. Or you could get 2 arduinos and 4 motors and program the arduino's (each on it's own USB com port) to accommodate your 4 DOF design. HOpe that steers you in the right direction. Dave
Big D! I'm doing a 3DOF and was just told on xsim that using smc3 I need to run 2 arduino uno R3 s. One for pitch/roll, and one for yaw. I see in this tut that you run all 3 motors off 1 Arduino. Can you confirm that I will be ok with doing it like you did? My build thread there is "Winging a 3DOF". Id appreciate your input if you have some time available, love your videos dude!
Hmm.. well, you absolutely can run 3 IBT's from one arduino. I do it all the time. SMC3 is simtools coding for 3 motors.. Confirmed.. The two main IBT's run at 35 khz sample rate, the third (which I use for Traction loss or YAW) would run at 32khz.. which is no big deal.. Check out the latest video if you want here is the link ua-cam.com/video/6rZMVFsoNHA/v-deo.html
@@DMAX_DIY Most appreciated! I also noticed you have multiple emergency smash bottoms on your rig. Do you have a video that shows the install for those? Where do they go in line with the power supply?
@@brianyuricich5730 I dont have a video about it.. but yes they go IN LINE with the battery power.. One is a simple battery disconnect.. the other is a 40 amp DC breaker which will break continuity if a short happens.. I'll see about making a video about them or including them on a new video.. Good point sir.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY well, my build is done, and so far I've blown 3 IBT-2s just during setup and testing. I'm running the same 24V psu's as you. I don't know where it's going wrong. All I know for sure is that my wiring is 100% correct. After pulling the bad IBT2's, I do a continuity check on all wires. Zero contact where there shouldn't be. Going to put 15A fuses inline with the hot wire to IBT2 and see how much load it takes to actually blow these things.
Oh wow! that's crazy@@brianyuricich5730 - I think I only had one of mine fail (out of 20 or so that I have). Do they fail in SMC3? or in simtools? Could be that the motors are grounded for some reason.. Those devices, even though they are cheap seem to work well up to over 20 amps(that's as much as my rig pulled at one point measured on my amp clamp).. Supposed to be good to 43 amps.. Check between ground and both of the motor wires.. make sure there is no continutiy between ground and either of the motor wires. Write me back. Dave
If there’s a tutorial video that’s quicker and they mess up at least you can rewind it as many times as you want 😂
exc..!!!
Totally unwatchable😂. Some people are just jelouse of your technical superiority and love to urinate in your pocket and tell you its raining. Screw the haters. They dont understand that its your passion for the subject that we all come here for. Fk em. If it wasnt for you i woukdnt have even started buying bits for my own build. Long may your unwatchable tutorials bring us confidence and perseverance to complete our own builds.
Thanks Terry! Yeah.. Same opinion here.. This stuff I do is free.. it takes a while to make.. I hope it helps some guys out. Maybe it's too much to do - maybe they might think it's something they can actually do.. Ya never know.. I do know that like 30 guys have made rigs now partly because I shined the light on how to do it.. Maybe even more than that.. IDK.. I keep pluggin away.. trying to not make it boring but make it worth a click.. hahah Dave
Hey, do u have any way i can contact you to ask questions etc, it would help alot. Thanks
Well that's a good question.. I have been trying to make my email available on these videos.. I dont check it but a couple times per month, but I do check it.. max.motion.simulator@gmail.com should get your questions answered.. Dave
