DIY motion platform for racing and flight sims - electronics and software

In this video I will share with you how I built the motion platform microcontroller, wired the servo controllers and set up the servo parameters.

The video shows the construction of devices that operate at voltages that can be lethal if miswired. If you don't have the requisite skills to confidently build the servo controller box, ask an qualified electrician to do it for you.
