In action...

The Thanos controller is now available with metal enclosure option.

Looks great but is it purely decorative or is there an advantage to the metal enclosure over the acrylic ie EMI?

It can help a bit with EMI, especially if you keep the controller in the same rack as the servo drives.

But there are other more important things to watch for, like floating grounds or ground loops... see these videos:

Don't have any EMI issues with my LowSlider which has a yellow acrylic version.
Was just wondering what the benefits to the metal chassis were (if any)

The Thanos4U plug and play motion controller with SRS, is now available in metal enclosure option on the website.

Improved the Thanos Motion Test utility a bit.. as requested added more sliders, to possibly use it to pose your rig in certain ways for actuator maintenance perhaps.

It's available now on my Github

And a quick video showing it in action:

Got myself busy with a hexapod these days... Might set it up for race!

Hi everyone, just got my eracing lab actuators. And when they rise they are not level. Either the front left is lower or the front right (i have 4 actuators). Even when i switch them off, one of them wont retract all the way. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Did you try contacting eracing-lab about this issue? I'm sure they will be glad to assist. They are fast in the support they offer.

I always wanted to build a hexapod with rotary actuators, but never got around it lacking the metal work equipment and space. But I found one on local sale, just as I got a larger workshop space. Despite some superficial scratches from storage and transport, it's very solid and unbelievably heavy... usually these need to be anchored on the floor, but I don't think it's a problem with this one.

After adding some high misalignment spacers on the ball bearing joints, it's mechanically super quiet, err almost, as it needs a bit of lubricant.

Here you can see the high misalignment spacers (from auto parts).

And here is the cockpit that came with the hexapod, almost complete... even has an VR headset along.

Did some progress on the hexapod, but I wish parts would roll in faster. The plan is to have both operational with motion soon.

Who needs a kitchen if you can fly instead?

 

[jonkrmr]

At first I thought why the hell this guy is building this thing in his kitchen?!
Then I noticed he appears to be in a basement so probably second kitchen for a rental of the basement?
LOL

Hello,
I don't know if anyone has had this issue and may know the solution, but I recently started having issues with my Thanos controller locking up on me. By this i mean that the lcd display is unresponsive to encoder inputs and the controller doesn't respond to inputs in SRS or on the up/down-right/left controls. This happens randomly, some times its within seconds of plugging usb in and sometimes it goes minutes and i am able to enter some settings or test motors before it locks up. Things i have tried thus far. 1. Firmware update and default setting reset 2. Driver reinstall 3.Bios Reset and verify no xmp memory profile 4. Changed usb cable and connected to powered usb hub 5.Changed settings in sim hub to stop port scanning 6. Connected to different computer. I have run out of ideas, any help is appreciated.
