I just posted new Beta Firmware for AMC-AASD15A servo controller. Please be advised that it might contain small bugs still. The list of changes are in the readme on that github page.

You can try it and report back any issues. https://github.com/tronicgr/AMC-AASD15A-Firmware/tree/master/Beta_Firmware

Thanks Thanos. Ordered a spare for a possible 2nd build.

Btw, this new actuator is available soon at sim-motion.com for Europe under the name SM70. It was shown at the Simracing Expo last weekend.

I agree. And the actuator made a great impression.

That price is a fair bit higher than I was expecting.

I seem to remember a while back that PT were going to sell the flange 80 actuators for 750 USD per piece. I was hoping these new compact actuators would be able to drop the price below even lower than that.

Maybe I'm misremembering

I think if you buy these kit directly from Shao hi the price will be lower.

You would just need to factor in what the import taxes and shipping from China would look like to compare the pricing...

I know but even factoring these it will cost you less then the prices listed in that website. I have the PT-16 actuators with the MD box that is better than all the kits listed there and it costed me less buying it directly from Shao factory.

As they told me at the Expo , the SM70 is exclusive to Sim-Motion for Europe . Shao was there too.

Since I added support for 7th servo on the last firmware, I added new STL files for the 3D printed enclosure that allow easy mounting of the extra DB25 female connector. See more info here:

And the wiring diagram for the DB25 connector to the Servo7-aux port:

Thanks

With that Price, europeans will not have an affordable alternative to SFX-100 actuators. Too bad

 

[NeedforSim]

I don't see any competitive price here (https://www.sim-motion.com/collections/actuatoren). You could buy a Prosimu P5MP (5 actuators 3DOF + TL) for 8690 euros with platform included.

You can always get them directly from the factory! Same way you buy the raw parts for the SFX-100...

BTW, the actuators on the link come with u-shape mounts and foot adapters, cables etc and also a AMC-AASD15A control unit in metal enclosure... Its not just the bare actuators...

What about the exclusivity of the sale of SM70 actuators to Sim Motions for Europeans

You can't compare apples with
pears. If you choose the same configuration at ProSimu it is over 10.500€.
