NEW! Motion4Sim Controller with Display/Encoder

$298.00 – $399.00

Motion4Sim AASD Servo Motion Controller – Ethernet Version & Display & Encoder

The ultimate choice for sim racing, flight simulation, motion platforms, belt tensioners, and other motion simulation applications.

This is the new Ethernet version of the controller. There are two versions available for purchase: the Basic Version and the Pro Version. The controller is highly adaptable to various setups and supports all open motion applications, as well as a wide range of games and simulations.

Note: A micro USB-C cable is required for operation but is not included.

IMPORTANT: Only the Pro Version includes Ethernet support. The Basic Version is Ethernet-capable but does not include Ethernet functionality.
you can upgrade later also with license code

this Version is featured with on Board Display and Encoder for operating the menu setting. you will need external EM switch and Online switch for proper Operation, but works also without.

Special Version with Display and Encoder on Board (pcb)

Basic vs. Pro Version

The Basic Version and the Pro Version share the same PCB (printed circuit board) design. However, the Basic Version is software-limited to only include basic features, while the Pro Version provides access to all advanced features, including Ethernet functionality.

All boards are fully equipped; however, if you order the Basic Version, the Ethernet feature is deactivated via software. To activate Ethernet, you will need to purchase a separate license at a later time. Activation and continuous use of the Ethernet feature require a regular internet connection. works also offline for a time. Boards ordered in the Pro Version come with Ethernet pre-activated.

Features of the New Board:

  1. External Power (12V)
  2. External Power with USB short-circuit protection
  3. USB Type-C Micro Connector
  4. Ethernet LAN Port (100 Mbps Full Duplex)
  5. RGB LCD for Handhelds with DB25 Support (available on request)
  6. Support for Smart Handheld (EM/Online Button)
  7. Parallel Support for Smart Handheld and DB25 Handheld via RJ45 & DB25
  8. Support for SPI Displays (e.g., 1.5″ OLED handhelds under development)
  9. Secondary Servo Control MCU for failover in case of main MCU failure
  10. External Security with Unique ID Chip and EEPROMs to ensure tamper resistance and configuration integrity

Why Choose Motion4Sim?

If you’re building a motion simulation platform, the Motion4Sim AASD Servo Motion Controller is your ideal solution. Designed for cost-effective AASD servo motors, this controller maximizes their performance for motion simulation applications. It also supports other motor drivers operating in Step/Dir mode, including NEMA 17, 23, 34 with digital stepper motor drivers, and servo motors like YMPC AASD, Delta B2, and Lichuan LCDA4.

The M4S-AASD15A controller ensures fast and seamless transmission of motion data from PC simulation software to servo motors. Data is exchanged via interface programs such as SimTools, FlyPT Mover, and Motion4Sim Dashboard, ensuring precise and smooth operation.

How It Works

Interface software calculates motion vectors and transmits values via the USB interface to the M4S controller. The controller drives the servo motors and performs real-time calculations for smoothing and refining motion cues. Servo motor amplifiers connect via DB25 cables, with pins aligned to match the AASD servo pinout.

Controller Features and Technical Specifications:

  • Control of up to 7 servo motors
  • Pulse speed up to 550 kHz
  • Step/Dir mode
  • Fully configurable actuators, supporting parameters like:
    • Inline and foldback directions
    • Lead screw pitch
    • Gearbox resolution
    • Unlimited stroke length
    • Encoder resolution
  • Freely adjustable parking position for horizontal or vertical parking in 6DOF rigs
  • Torque signal query for homing and error detection
  • Support for all actuator types: linear, rotational, or 360° infinitely rotating
  • Automatic home calibration (with or without limit switches, torque-controlled)
  • 16×2 LCD display with full menu system for parameter adjustments
