The Real Cost Difference Shows Up Over Time When teams compare motion platform designs, the conversation often starts—and ends—with upfront cost. Hydraulic systems can appear less expensive at first glance, especially when comparing actuators alone. But for 6DOF and 7DOF motion platforms, this narrow view hides the costs that matter most over the life of the

Last time, we figured out that the phidgets controlled everything and that there were all of these phidget files… sigh… (If you haven’t been reading this series on the CRJ, please read 1 thru 3 please.) Return of the Phidgets Rick (my lovely programming engineer) wrote a small but significant program that allowed us to

So getting back to the CRJ refurb… The buyer decided to get it working again… Step 3 – Reverse engineering the whole system (hindsight being 20/20, the overhead panel was the best place to start) Starting with the overhead panel, I wanted to see what parts were used to make it work. It was the

So a few months ago, we took on a project to rehab a CRJ-700 simulator that was dead… like dead dead. None of the computers worked…but… So a business associate contacted me about this CRJ system and that he had a buyer for it. Sight unseen, I said sure, it should be fixable. So said business
