Hi all, I am building a flight sim chair. I was inspired by Tronics chair and wanted to build a similar one to his. I lack the knowledge to build PCB's or type program code. So I am asking if someone here could help me out. Here is a link to the programming he has given out for free..thanks....http://ptyxiouxos.net//greekbotics/user_projects/Flight_Simulator/thanos_home_motion_flight_simulator.htm

What I need is a recommendations for a controller board...motors....programming.

Remember I am on a budget.

I have been looking at prebuilt boards on ebay but not sure what to buy.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the chair built with a lot of pitch and roll. Just need motors and controllers.

Thanks,

Sean

    The Dream Flyer uses no motors, the chair is gimbaled and balanced so that stick movements cause the motion.
