Thanks Albert,
I started making my 6DOF motion control interfaces 13 months ago, and now there are about 50 of these DIY 6DOF platforms all around the world. People are building the platform themselves in their garages or spare rooms in their homes!
Before that there was only the option of buying commercial motion platforms that cost 5 or 6 figures $$$$$$ and with slow response timing of 100hz (10 position updates per second).
Instead I choose a different approach to combine control of the all motors in a single controller (Atmega1280) that handles the PID, 16-bit resolution data packets and realtime LCD menu with 1000hz updates. Plus, they can choose the motor size they want for their application or load rating from a huge pool of industrial AC motor equipment that is available in any part of the world. An average cost for a DIY 6DOF platform with AC motors is about $4500.
I'm trying not to brag about my creation, but its just a very successful practical use of Bascom language. I would never did better using C and the arduino IDE...! Still amazed by the power of Bascom language!
Best Regards,
Thanos
