can I use any other encoder under 500rs and what values should i enter in this software 14:50 if I am not using the ffb motor and the 600ppr encoder. And suggest me any alternative to the 600 ppr encoder under 500rs and the value i need to enter on the software. And what options to select in hbridge 15:10 if i don't use the ffb motor.
1. Using cheap encoder: th-cam.com/video/7c1FGc-xNLc/w-d-xo.html 2. (PPR value * 4) 3. H bridge you can keep same. Anyhow if you don't use ffb motor it doesn't matter.
Oh my god!! Brother you really made the fantastic video!! And your video have all knowledge of about car controller that I need. Thank you so much Brother!!!💕💕
Hello brother, I got the project working solved potentiometer issues. But now the force feedback is not working properly. It works but not all the times. circuit is correct and no loose connection. Any help is appreciated. Also I have send a email about the queries, Kindly respond. Thank you for awesome tutorial. This was by far best FFB tutorial I have seen
Yes you can use without FFB motor and motor driver board. But issue is, Even if you set the wheel degree to some value(example 300 deg), since motor is not there, degree won't lock. You can still move beyond and wheel centre keep on changing.
what do you mean when you say if we want to turn the Arduino to normal, wait if I bought a new arduino do I have to upload " return to stock" hex file before I upload the emc hex file in order it to work?
No , not after buying the Arduino. After uploading EMC firmware, if you want your Arduino to have default firmware, then use that return to stock hex file.
When I click on the EMC program to configure the steering wheel and pedals, it doesn't give me the option to configure, look at minute 14:35 where that box appears, it doesn't let me configure anything.
You can use, still better to use the one shown in the video. Cost wise very small difference. L298N cannot handle more current, it can burn frequently.
the big motor is necessary and only with the encoder. I can make one without the need for a large motor and only with the arduino leonardo excellent video👍👍👍
You can also use smaller motor. But gear/pulleys should be selected considering the required RPM at the end. Even if you don't connect motor, steering works fine. But there will be no force/feedback.
@@techathomethank you bro even I had the same idea of using only the steering, gears, pedals and handbrake, without any ffb. But bro tell me one thing, can I use a potentiometer in place of the rotary encoder by connecting the pin of the pot to the analog input
@@tanishc5yeah of course, might have to change the code but should be fine. I built one without ffb following a video from a guy named Nzgamgingtech I think…. And he used a potentiometer instead. Anyways it should be fine
hi, we connected everything as you showed, we installed emcutiliti on it, but it doesn't send any signal. (we haven't done the pedals yet, there is a problem with the steering wheel) the arduino lights up, but when we turn the rotary encoder, the program doesn't notice it, and the wheelcheck doesn't work with it either. What could be the problem?
I had the FREE EMC 0.96 version which was removed by the developer because it was very similar in features to the PRO version. V0.96 features the same XY shifter and FFB mode Which is the same as the paid PRO version 😅, luckily I was able to download it before it was removed by the developer. It's just different at the UI and still using Leonardo instead of STM32
LOL you Are really lucky😂 wasnt there a Feature where you can find the ppr if you dont know it i Kinda remember a Feature Like that, that Said something Like find cpr

@@techathome I've been busy with work, so I've forgotten about it. I found a reason why it didn't work, but simply, I bought a 24 volt motor, and I bought a 12v power supply, and it didn't work. Now it's working fine. Thank you very much for telling me how to do it. The goal after that is to design and complete the hardware, and since I'm working in sheet metal, it won't be too difficult. I'm thinking of making a two-axis motion chair later. The problem is that I don't have any knowledge on this side, so it's not easy to study. Anyway, thank you :) I'll let you know the progress later
Hi, are there any advantages or disadvantages to attaching the rotary encoder directly to the shaft? Is it going to affect performance and feel of the wheel in any way?
There is no difference in both cases functionality aspect. In my case, since I have used same pulleys for encoder and shaft, the ratio is 1:1. Which is again same as mounting directly to shaft. Just it improves your design. But you can connect directly to shaft and reduce some cost of the build.
Hi, another great video!! I would like to ask you if I can mount 12mm round buttons with 3 pins (vcc, out, gnd) on the steering wheel. if so, which pins will be used and which one does it correspond to on the diagram? because in the diagram there are only 2 pins without specifying which ones. forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance
Thank you In the schematics, there is button matrix and it supports upto 16 digital buttons. These can be used for shifter. Tomorrow I will upload video on paddle shifters, in that I have shown this.
Ok I’m trying to use xloader to download the hex files to the arduino Leonardo but I keep getting download fail , everything needs to be connected to the board to be able to to download the hex files? Thanks for your help in advance.

great video, i am having trouble in transmission the forward and reverse function using potentiometer pedals sometimes work and sometime don't work please help
Hey man,can we also use a potentiometer instead of the encoder with some gears and use it to mesure rotation and use the same software for the calibration?Do you have any recommendations or solutions for that? Anyway your guide is very useful and amazing.Good luck❤
You could do that by modding the wheel firmware, but just get an old inkjet printer from Brother and take the encoder wheel and sensor out of that. With potentiometer you will have a very low resolution.
Thank you!! My motor is 24v, 13A. But as of now using 12v, 5A power supply. If you are buying supply, better go with variable option(At least between 12 and 24V switching option). In some games if feedback is too strong, it is difficult to move the wheel when motor is powerful. In these scenarios you can reduce the supply.
I am using 12v, 5A power supply. Best option is to get a supply which has option to switch between 12v and 24v. You can reduce feedback when you want less by switching to 12v.
bro is it possible to use canon ip2770 encoder sensor insted of 600 ppr rotry encoder if its posible how much value of cpr need to be set on encoder settings of emc utility
I think that motor is 2500 RPM, then Using this gear ratio, output RPM : 833 Output torque: 1.68 Nm I used these online calculators : Ratio RPM calculator: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/gear-ratio-rpm Gear Torque calculator: calculator.academy/gear-torque-calculator/ These are values from my build: Before pulleys- Motor Rated Torque : 0.87 Nm Motor RPM: 2650 Input pulley teeths(at motor): 15 Output pulley teeths(at steering shaft): 60 Ratio(Output / Input)- 4:1 After pulleys - Output RPM: 662 Output torque: 3.48 NM
I have not used any ready made wheels before. So I don't feel any delay. If you are already using good wheels and come to this, you might feel slight delay. Still gaming is not an issue. If you use 1000 PPR encoder for build instead of 600, performance will be better.
Not possible with this software, You can try this basic wheel from potentiometer and Arduino Uno, th-cam.com/play/PL4B0LEKY-jrT4qVf352Es444lZY48uSvu.html th-cam.com/play/PL4B0LEKY-jrTZEiCamC6Un8yo_Ea-i2FF.html
hi bro, hope you answer. I have such a problem - the Arduino does not see the encoder. I connected 2 resistors from 5V to each connector. I tried resistors 510Ohm, 4.7KOhm and 1KOhm. None helped. On the diagram it is indicated in one 4.7 and in the second 1KOhm. What are yours?
If i want to make only the pedals and not wheel can you please tell what modifications i have to do in arduino board or i just connect the pedal potentiometers and it will work?
Awesome Project again, I cailbrate acceleration and Brake. But when I turn one potentiometer The value of other potentiometer is also changing. What could be the reason? I tried a lot of calibration, and I couldn't solve it. Any help is appreciated
Thank you, You can replace the potentiometer and check. Even I was facing this issue earlier, After using this type of potentiometer(B10k), issue resolved: www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F61CYQGQz8HL.AC_UF1000%2C1000_QL80.jpg&tbnid=V9Se71hpLGu8OM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.in%2FElectroBot-Linear-Taper-Rotary-Potentiometer%2Fdp%2FB07QB32TD3&docid=g6yyn0PKGfBqCM&w=927&h=1000&itg=1&hl=en-IN&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2F4

@@techathome I've been busy with work, so I've forgotten about it. I found a reason why it didn't work, but simply, I bought a 24 volt motor, and I bought a 12v power supply, and it didn't work. Now it's working fine. Thank you very much for telling me how to do it.
The goal after that is to design and complete the hardware, and since I'm working in sheet metal, it won't be too difficult. I'm thinking of making a two-axis motion chair later. The problem is that I don't have any knowledge on this side, so it's not easy to study. Anyway, thank you :) I'll let you know the progress later
Welcome ❤️
Hi, are there any advantages or disadvantages to attaching the rotary encoder directly to the shaft? Is it going to affect performance and feel of the wheel in any way?
There is no difference in both cases functionality aspect.
In my case, since I have used same pulleys for encoder and shaft, the ratio is 1:1.
Which is again same as mounting directly to shaft.
Just it improves your design. But you can connect directly to shaft and reduce some cost of the build.
Got it. Thanks Bro @@techathome
Welcome
Hi, another great video!! I would like to ask you if I can mount 12mm round buttons with 3 pins (vcc, out, gnd) on the steering wheel. if so, which pins will be used and which one does it correspond to on the diagram? because in the diagram there are only 2 pins without specifying which ones. forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance
good video I ask you, can I also connect the gearbox to this arduino and how to configure it?
Thank you
In the schematics, there is button matrix and it supports upto 16 digital buttons.
These can be used for shifter.
Tomorrow I will upload video on paddle shifters, in that I have shown this.
@@techathome OK, thanks a lot👍👍
What'll be the procedure to make direct drive wheelusing hober board's moror ?
The motor costs approx 2700. I think that'll be cheaper
I have not explored this. Need to check.

Ok I’m trying to use xloader to download the hex files to the arduino Leonardo but I keep getting download fail , everything needs to be connected to the board to be able to to download the hex files? Thanks for your help in advance.
I got it to work, thanks for a great tutorial!
Welcome ❤️👍
Hii Bro,, I have a Arduino Uno board. So can i use this one borad too?👌👌👌👌
No, this project is not possible with Uno board.
You can try this basic wheel: th-cam.com/play/PL4B0LEKY-jrT4qVf352Es444lZY48uSvu.html&si=UMtqu7aTFr3QHkN6
Thanks for your advice sir!

How did you soldered db9 connectors please explain the circuit please 🥺
You need to add a z toggle button to fix the calibration error, rfr will work and give more options
Yea I had added z toggle, still there was issue.
May be I have missed something.
Can you give me more info on how to do that
there are 4*4 button matrix, which is 16 buttons, out of that can I use 8 buttons for H-shifter and the rest for in game button control ?
Yes you can use in that way.
This video will help you: th-cam.com/video/-gHQ2EIYm88/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mhOqbapQ1mWOTYIs
Do i need to use the resistors thats shown in the diagram og will it work without?
Yes, you need to use resistors for encoder.
Bro where did u connect the cooling fan
Directly to power supply 12v
bro can we use usb instead of the DP9s
?
I USB only 4 connections possible. But you need more ryt?
Hi do you use 24v psu for this motor.thanks
I don't have now.
I am using 12v, 5A power supply.
@@techathome does it work with this 24v motor you're using?🤔
i'm curuous but i have the same motor 24v and i'm looking for psu now😅...
Hi bro do you have emc v0.96
No
great video, i am having trouble in transmission the forward and reverse function using potentiometer pedals sometimes work and sometime don't work please help
I am not able to understand the exact issue you are facing.
Hey man,can we also use a potentiometer instead of the encoder with some gears and use it to mesure rotation and use the same software for the calibration?Do you have any recommendations or solutions for that?
Anyway your guide is very useful and amazing.Good luck❤
You could do that by modding the wheel firmware, but just get an old inkjet printer from Brother and take the encoder wheel and sensor out of that. With potentiometer you will have a very low resolution.
Bro just buy a cheap encoder and use it it works and later you can upgrade
Do we need to add the capacitors?
No, only resistors.
How can I connect the cooling fan pls tell it will be helpful ❤
I have directly connected to same 12v power supply used for motor driver.
Thanks so much for helping bro I’m going to start the project soon ❤️
If you have budget, go with 1000 PPR encoder for better results instead of 600.
you can also add a reset button and 5-6 extra buttons of your choice

Hey, thanks this is the best tutorial ever! Can you tell what power supply you're using please? Can we use something recyclable ?
Thank you!!
My motor is 24v, 13A. But as of now using 12v, 5A power supply.
If you are buying supply, better go with variable option(At least between 12 and 24V switching option).
In some games if feedback is too strong, it is difficult to move the wheel when motor is powerful. In these scenarios you can reduce the supply.
@@techathome Thanks! Can I use a laptop power supply as it provides 19V for 11A ?
Which motor are you using?
bro can you tell me what psu are you using
I am using 12v, 5A power supply.
Best option is to get a supply which has option to switch between 12v and 24v.
You can reduce feedback when you want less by switching to 12v.
It will work on TV or not
Please reply
No
bro is it possible to use canon ip2770 encoder sensor insted of 600 ppr rotry encoder if its posible how much value of cpr need to be set on encoder settings of emc utility
You can use.
Cpr = Ppr * 4
So you have to get PPR details of your encoder.
If motorr is alternative 100w gears will be 0.333 gear ratio 60 and 20 teeths?
I think that motor is 2500 RPM, then
Using this gear ratio, output RPM : 833
Output torque: 1.68 Nm
I used these online calculators :
Ratio RPM calculator: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/gear-ratio-rpm
Gear Torque calculator: calculator.academy/gear-torque-calculator/
These are values from my build:
Before pulleys-
Motor Rated Torque : 0.87 Nm
Motor RPM: 2650
Input pulley teeths(at motor): 15
Output pulley teeths(at steering shaft): 60
Ratio(Output / Input)- 4:1
After pulleys -
Output RPM: 662
Output torque: 3.48 NM
Can I use raspberry pi ?
No
why did you not use load cell for the break , its very simple and cheap to make .
Hi bro it seems my aurdino boards analog pin a0 and a1 is shorted so when i use accelerator the brake also works.what can i do about that?
Try to use B10K potentiometer which has metal knob.
Is the delay noticable
I have not used any ready made wheels before. So I don't feel any delay.
If you are already using good wheels and come to this, you might feel slight delay.
Still gaming is not an issue. If you use 1000 PPR encoder for build instead of 600, performance will be better.
is there a way to use a potentiometer for the steering?, if you can how would you wire it.
Not possible with this software,
You can try this basic wheel from potentiometer and Arduino Uno,

@@techathome oh ok thank you
hi bro, hope you answer. I have such a problem - the Arduino does not see the encoder. I connected 2 resistors from 5V to each connector. I tried resistors 510Ohm, 4.7KOhm and 1KOhm. None helped. On the diagram it is indicated in one 4.7 and in the second 1KOhm. What are yours?
sorry
Okay no problem 👍❤️
If i want to make only the pedals and not wheel can you please tell what modifications i have to do in arduino board or i just connect the pedal potentiometers and it will work?

@@techathome What would be the ideal output rotation for the flywheel?
I would like to know how far I can reduce the engine speed to gain torque.
Is 600 rpm good?
How do I know the minimum?
I have not explored real wheels, So I don't have idea on ideal RPM.
600 RPM would be fine. Don't reduce below that. Anyway this e bike motor has good torque.
Can we use ac motor like one in sewing machine? Just asking
No
Woah Its really awesome. But I need help. My emc is inverted when i turn the wheel to right values goes negetive, when i go left values goes positive and i see no invert option. Other than it it working

You have to just interchange Encoder A and B phase terminals connected on Arduino pins 0 and 1.
@@techathomeThanks again..nice work
Would you please share the USB descriptor? I'm using a Arduino nano, and i have successfully created a USB circuit with a working encoder.
On your steering wheel whats the positive of running a pulley setup vs direct drive from the wheel?
Get more torque and the force feedback is made to be run by 60 teeth an 20 teeth pullys
