installation of safety features and future work on the wiring, installation and IO requirements of
the cockpit and control panels.
The next recommendation is the refinement of the simulator’s motor control. The motors should
operate using positional feedback. They should also operate with a fourth degree of motion; spin.
Finally, two more servo motors should be integrated into the simulator by the culmination of the
design process. It is important to note that as the servo motors get integrated into the base, the
code controlling the motors is going to change drastically.
The final recommendation is that should the final cockpit be delivered to the University, the team
must rewire and install the cockpit and develop adequate connectors from the cockpit to any
controllers required for simulator function.
In conclusion the 2013-2014 senior design team accomplished all of the assigned deliverables for
the project. The ETC Gyro IPT flight simulator is now an updated motion base with motion in
the heave, pitch, and roll axes. Next year’s team is tasked with finalizing the update to the
motion base once funds are secured and creating a functioning cockpit for the simulator.
