Share and discover files, designs, code the right way This will be a two blog posts. Part one the what and why, Part two will be the how. What is…
The following files are the alpha release. There's issues. You'll have to drill holes. It might not be right for you - you're going to be a brave pioneer. But…
A busy few weeks, parts from China, emergency stuff locally and we now have a fully functional G-Seat Yesterday I achieved the next big milestone of the G-Seat to get…
Especially with multi controller setups ! Don't think about it, just get one I'd purposely avoided the StreamDeck channel in the Simfeedback discord, because I just knew it was going…
Lockdown in NZ across April-May meant no CNC laser cutting and folding (well unless you had your own serious production shop in your garage!) so I put the final design…
Are you mad? Thinking about building one? Well hopefully I can answer some questions for you I want to get in touch/ask questions Use the discord here just for this…
The problem If you've been following along one of the things you will have heard/read is that I've struggled with the actual seat itself. The "powerpack" is attached to the…
Woop woop It works, it's alive, and it's survived a few hours of abuse. Built new arms What I mounted both HTD5M drive trains and then promptly heard all sorts…
Many people have asked if this would be open source?, am I going to sell these? This was quite a thing to think through. I haven't even finished it yet,…
Getting back from a short break, a package that I'd been waiting on from Aliexpress showed up - proving all of China wasn't shut down. Very excited I unpacked it…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3fsyXZrbVA Note will continually update this post until I've reached the point the powerpack is holding together; uphsoltery/finishing will be the next one. Big shout out to: Bruce, Saxxon66, J.R, Buri,…
I'm stubborn, I think this post will prove that. Following on from my previous post https://www.rowanhick.com/2020/01/25/delving-into-the-world-of-g-force-cueing I switched up my approach and went for a full blooded AC Servo, retaining…
So lets get this out of the way; there's no way a motion simulator can actually simulate g-forces - what it can do however is "cue" forces. The more cues…

An unofficial in-depth guide to setting up and using SimFeedback to drive your SFX-100 actuators. From initial configuration through to tuning individual effects.
Righto, had my initial fun with the SFX100 units so now it's time to tidy up my mess. First stop the Arduino controller. Having this all exposed is not really…
You want a cost effective, 4 actuator platform mover motion platform with fast vertical speed? Sounds like a contradiction in terms, it's actually a reality with the SFX/SimFeedback solution. Read…
Note this is part 4 in a five part series on building the actuators. Click here to see my full SFX-100 Build and Running guide In my previous posts I…
Note this is part 3 in a five part series on building the actuators. Click here to see my full SFX-100 Build and Running guide There's a surprising amount of…
Note this is part 2 in a five part series on building the actuators. Click here to see my full SFX-100 Build and Running guide I charged ahead with building…
Let's go through finding all the parts for our actuators, ordering them and 3D printing the components.
Might be late to the party on this one, but it is hidden in various forums/discords, so just putting a post up incase it helps some else out. So you've…
Okay so I really don't like writing reviews like this but I had of wished I'd found the stories before ordering mine. I can sum this review up into this :…
If you value your time just get vinyl wrap...
Once I had the bits I wanted on the rig permanently sorted out then it was onto finishing, wait back things up a bit, not yet, still more to get.…
Follow the journey to build some 3D Printed Paddle shifters
Having the basics of the sim rig working, like any good project, upgrade time ensued pretty quickly. Transducers Previously I made some famous last words like "I won't put transducers in".…
Many options present themselves for how to get a Sim Rig into your basement / garage / spare room. This is my relatively quick journey from 'hmm I need to…
Surfing YouTube is a costly past time, if it weren't for YouTube I would be blissfully unaware of many toys - my garage would be a whole lot emptier and…
