Great Alternative to Other Direct Drive Systems

For TDD Micro - Direct Drive wheel Controller

Was looking for a cheaper alternative to Direct Drive and belt-driven racing wheels when I came across this board and the forum page. I decided to take a chance and try this board. I was not disappointed! In fact, I was more than impressed! I've been using the motor for months now and have put over 100 hours into it which no issues. The setup was easy and the board offers a lot of customization. I even stupidly damaged the micro USB port and I was able to work around it with help from the awesome community around the board. Great product and would recommend to anyone wanting a DD wheel who isn't afraid of a little DIY.

Great upgrade for sfx100

For AMC-AASD15A servo motion controller

A little more of an upgrade than I expected to be honest. I'm still checking out the settings (been over a month). So far I'm really liking the ability to tame the crashes. That works really well imo, build quality seems good also!

Board received, not installed yet, but...

For TDD Micro - Direct Drive wheel Controller

Hello,
I was following the Thanos boards, and intended to buy the 6DOF controller. Then i stumbled on this great little board in order to make a quite simple OSW wheel.
I ordered the board, ordered all other parts, and im waiting to arrive.
My TDD board got lost at the postal service, and without hesitation, Thanos send me a replacement board.
This is Service witha a capital "S" !! I really love this, and it gives a very good faith in this seller.
Now, the board arrived after all, and the replacement is on its way. I made an arrangement with this seller, as i do not want 2 boards for the price of one!

Board looks well made, but theres no description, manual or something like this, so you really need to get it all from the online information. (which is more than sufficient by the way).

Even though im not able to test yet, i give this setter a A+ without hesitation!

pleased with the controller

For AMC-AASD15A servo motion controller

Servo motion controller received successfully a few months ago despite delays in the context of coronavirus. It seems that everything is ok and it fits in the 3d printed encloseure. I'm waiting to finish mounting the sxf 100 to test how it works and writte new review

Works as advertised but could use a bit of improvement.

For AMC-AASD15A servo motion controller

The Thanos is a good controller and does everything it is advertised to do. It is worth the price but for almost $400 CAD it could use a little refinement in a few areas.

1. No enclosure - I realize that you can order one from PT-actuators that comes with a nice aluminum case but they are never in stock. This board requires 3D printing a case which isn’t a big deal but I guess it could be if you don’t have your printer.
2. No USB cable - had to go and buy one just to get it working. Not a big deal they are cheap but again for the price I expected a little more.
3. Shipping took a long time. I ordered on June 6 and it just arrived on July 15, over a month later (to Canada). I understand delays due to COVID but it would be nice to have the option to upgrade shipping even if it costs a little more.

Don’t want to turn anyone off from getting the controller - it works amazing and it is really the best option for a DIY motion sim but again it is quite expensive and could use a bit of refinement.

Response from Thanos Motion Electronics LLC | July 15, 2020
Thank you for your feedback Christian,

I sure understand all mentioned areas of improvement. This is still DIY solution that can be adapted to a large combination of simulators or actuator arrangements, thus including a standard length USB cable maybe will be too short or too long. Same goes with the DB25 cables that I don't provide as well. Regarding the metal enclosure, you can contact PT-Actuator for only the metal enclosure, they will be happy to send you only that if you can't access a 3D printer for a PLA enclosure. Regarding the shipping delays, all USPS options, even Express are subject to same delays during these last months, its not going to get anything faster. The only unaffected courier service I seen is FedEx but with 160USD cost its just too expensive to use.

Thanks, Thanos
