Before continuing with the further development of my motion platform, I am first focusing on a smaller project: Get Started.
Get Started is a model of a 6-axis motion platform that can be assembled quickly using a small number of standard parts and 3D-printed components. Motion is provided by six low-cost 90 g servos, making the project well suited for initial experiments.
Control is handled by a simple Arduino sketch designed for an Arduino Mega 2560 R3. This same controller will later be used in the “full-scale” motion platform, allowing Get Started to serve both as an introduction and as preparation for the main project.
