Welcome to the Kinemaniacs Community: Where Precision Meets Passion

Ready to build something extraordinary? The Kinemaniacs community is home to makers, developers, and motion enthusiasts pushing the boundaries of what's possible with ARK Dynamics' PDK and PDKracer platforms.

Built for Creators Like You

Our 6-degree-of-freedom motion systems aren't just products—they're your canvas for innovation. With 21-bit precision positioning and lightning-fast 1.4ms latency, you have the foundation to create experiences that were impossible just years ago. Generate forces up to 4g in your garage workshop with the same precision found in professional research labs.

What Our Community Can Build

VR Wizards: Community members can craft immersive worlds where every subtle movement matters. From haptic feedback that lets you "feel" virtual textures to motion that perfectly syncs with your wildest VR creations.

Sim Racing Masters: Our racers can dial in setups that capture every nuance of the track—tire slip you can actually feel, suspension loading that teaches you the racing line, and feedback so precise it makes you a better driver.

Innovation Labs: Home inventors can use our platforms for medical rehabilitation devices, educational simulators, and art installations that respond to the tiniest human gestures.

Research Partners: Academic collaborators and citizen scientists can create reproducible experiments and contribute to real scientific advancement.

Robotics Pioneers: Developers testing autonomous systems, validating control algorithms, and prototyping the next generation of robotic applications.

Why Kinemaniacs Choose Our Platforms

• Garage-to-Lab Precision: 21-bit resolution means your home projects can achieve professional-grade results

• Real-Time Everything: 1.4ms latency keeps your control loops tight and your experiences fluid

• Serious Forces: Up to 4g capability for experiences that pack a punch

• Maker-Friendly: Compact design fits your workspace, extensive APIs fit your code

• Open Development: APIs and documentation designed by developers, for developers

Join the Movement

This isn't just about motion platforms—it's about a community that believes precision engineering belongs in every maker's toolkit. Whether you're prototyping the next breakthrough in VR, perfecting your sim racing rig, or building something the world has never seen, you'll find your tribe here.

Share your builds. Learn from others. Push the boundaries together.
