DIY motion platform for racing and flight sims - building the SFX100 actuators part 2

In this video I will share with you how I built the SFX100 actuators for the DIY motion platform. The platform moves on four actuators, allowing for Roll, Pitch and Heave as well as simulated Surge and Sway. The actuators are powered by 750watt servo motors. 3000 watts total.

In order for the actuators to move, some free software called SimFeedback receives physics from the game and translates them into actuator positions. The games currently available are:

Assetto Corsa
iRacing
Project Cars
Dirt Rally
Raceroom
F1 2018
rFactor 2
No limits 2 roller coaster
DCS (in alpha build via the Discord channel)
X-Plane (unofficial plugin from X-Plane forums )
You can write you own as well - the framework is open source
