If you intend to build a motion simulation platform, you’re in the right place. The cost-effective AASD servo motors are currently the most efficient solution for this purpose. The Motion4Sim controller has been precisely developed to utilize these motors to their full potential.
All other motor drivers that support Step/Dir operation can also be connected and controlled. For example, Nema 17, 23, 34 with digital stepper motor drivers or other servo motors such as YMPC AASD, Delta B2, Lichuan LCDA4 can be utilized.
The M4S-AASD15A servo controller enables fast and seamless transmission of motion information from the PC simulation to the servo motor. The data exchange occurs between interface programs such as Simtools, FlyPT Mover, Motion4Sim Dashboard.
The interface software calculates the motion vectors and transmits the values via the USB interface to the M4S servo controller. The controller then controls the servo motors and also provides the ability to calculate and smooth motion cues. The servo motor amplifiers are connected with DB25 cables.The pins of the connectors match the pinout of the AASD servo.
