Sweet setup for a sim pit
« on: March 28, 2012, 02:29:34 PM »
These kids have started out on a project that really has me loving what they are doing.

Looks like it would be a bunch of fun but I haven't seen anything that shows how they are running the motors to create the motion.

Now that you mention it Ink I agree BUT programming that into an arduino might be a PITA that time and money prohibited from happening as well as figuring out how to drive the yaw axis as well.

That is an awesome job those kids have done so far.  I'm eager to see the finished product and how much it costs to have one of my own.

Does HiTech plan on making one for Aces High?  Sounds like a good idea to me.
