Authorised Vendor Thanos AMC-AASD15A 6axis Servo Motion Controller

OK... seems to only happen when I enable the Filter Factor..

Also I will add.. I don't have a E-stop hooked up.. Could this be contributing to the issue?

Which firmware you used?

You should update it to this firmware here:
https://github.com/tronicgr/AMC-AAS...ware/enc_6dof_AMC_AASD15A_v2_10_beta_fix6.zip

And restore defaults by holding the "Menu exit" button and press the "Reset" button. When it displays the message that defaults where restored, you can release the Menu Exit button.

Also make sure to set park position to 0% not 50%... on power up it will jump to park position, so keeping it 0% prevents that.

Thanks
Thanos

Thanks Thanos.. I've done all those things which stops the jump.

Motion feels better than ever before.. plus now I don't tense up every time I'm headed sideways towards a wall

Glad I went with your controller over the simfeedback controller

Receiving my 3DOF PT-Actuator System soon. Im just like a little child right before christmas at the moment, as i also got my own room for the new build in the basement, wich i have painted white today and layed out completly with a anti-vibrationmat. It looks clean and tidy like in a hospital now.

Enough of my anticipation.

What im asking me in the last weeks is, how to shut the whole system down ? Is there a switch on the controller, wich removes the power from the motors and servodrives ? In general im looking for an on/off switch like the power button on my television remote control.

Why im asking this ? I didn`t really get smart out of Barrys reviews in terms of this.

You can just remove the power from the servos (mains 220v or 110v). When you power them back up again, the AMC controller will automatically calibrate again. This means, you can leave the AMC-AASD15A controller plugged in your PC all the time.

Thanks

Ok, but there is no switch or something to power the servodrivers and motors off, i must completly remove the plug ?

You can use a switch like this:

Another huge scale motion platform is complete and in fully operational state... You can see what I mean on the next video:

He finally finished it! Wow. The one we've all been waiting for. Which flight control program is he interfacing with?

He is using Prepar3D... He is currently using Ian's BFF 6DOF motion software, but he might switch to FlyPT for even more realistic motion as soon its out of beta.

I have one of these and they're good. Needs a little soldering for the connector to circuit board to be done when you first get it but works like a charm.

How long did it take to get? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and of course its the last thing I need to try motion.

Baj needs a week after order to prepare it, and it can take 2-3 weeks to arrive from UK to USA... just be patient, its worth it.

Patience is tough at this point. lol Its taken 4 months to get all the pieces because of whats going on with the virus and its the last piece I need to finally try it.

Really? I knew you had more built in safety features which is why I went with your controller but I didn't know I could run without it. Are the base settings to use this with the sfx100 listed somewhere? I saw your post above about park and i know i saw something about smoothing i think alot of pages back. Thanks by the way i havent used my rig in almost a month.

Thanks. Really appreciate all the work you guys have put into making motion affordable for the masses.

I see many guys who have installed a power conditioner for their servodrives.

I`m really not into electronics and glad, when i managed to wire up my servodrives.

So to speak clearly, i never heard of a power conditioner. What he does ? Do i really need one and why ? And, what is the difference of plugging the electronics into a power conditioner vs. plugging the servodrives into a normal extensioncable ?
