Arduino code for a controller connected to a Stewart Platform from MarginallyClever (http://www.marginallyclever.com/product/rotary-stewart-platform-v2/) (https://github.com/MarginallyClever/RotaryStewartPlatform2).
Designs for the controller are available in the controller folder. Part files are .ipt and the assembly is .iam, made with Autodesk Inventor.

Some of the part files have icelandic names, thus translations for some parts have been added to the translations.txt file in the controller folder.
The controller has a VGA plug, you can see that in the designs. However you can't use a regular VGA cable to plug the controller to an Arduino since 4 of the 15 pins available in a regular VGA cable are connected together. We had a custom cable made for us with 15 individual wires and soldered the cable to a VGA plug so it'd be easy to connect the controller.
For our design you need 12 pins from the controller to the Arduino. Of course you can do the design with fewer buttons and then you can use a regular VGA cable as long as you wire everything correctly.
