  • How to make this DIY USB controlled analog handbrake for drift, rally and racing simulator games.
    This USB handbrake is designed to work as Analog by modding, and redesigning the function of a hydraulic handbrake. The design also has minimal fabrication, is neat and compact.
    It is USB, stand alone and can be used in combination with any steering wheel Logitech, G25, G27, G29, G920, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, or OSW
    Why a Analog handbrake? Short answer, It gives modulation. On/off is fine and a simple design but if you want more control and realism build an analog version.
    The controller is a Arduino ProMicro with a analog axis sketch loaded to it. Which you can the find files here:
    amstudioprojects.com/handbrakes/
    Once downloaded copy the Joystick folder into the Arduino libraries folder, then upload the sketch to the ProMicro.
    When the sketch is uploaded to the ProMicro it will stay stored even when unplugged and disconnected.
    Analog handbrakes are quite expensive considering what they are. I put my build and design on par with some of the major brands. My build was about a 1/4 of the price of name brand analog handbrakes.
    There are some versions that use hydraulic fluid and a pressure transducer. This is another good option which may have a nicer feel, but as this is an indoor item that is setup and packed away when not in use, I didn't want to find it leaking brake fluid.
    The spring I used has a medium resistance, you can change the feel of the lever by using stronger or weaker springs also try adding different rubbers to change the feel. There is a spring located inside the master cylinder that could be adapted, although a little soft. The lever action in this build - From Off to Full is about 12cm.
    The best things about building your own DIY projects is the satisfaction of making a product from a combination of different parts. Sometimes built better than what you can buy. From the design, troubleshooting to learning process, this is all valuable knowledge gained with your time. Also as a bonus if it breaks you can identify what parts failed and what is required to be replaced, fixed or improved.
    ****NOTE********
    There are a few people trying to sell my design for a lot more than it costs to build. Don't get ripped off ! I would recommend making your own or just buy the Fanatec handbrake.

      @Amstudio what was the length of that spring? BTW great work..

    • @DDM0815
      @DDM0815 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The length of the spring would be awesome. And maybe also (some pics with) measurements of the holes you have to drill to install the poti and the other 3d printed parts (i don't have a 3d printer). I'm sure i'll figure it out myself when i have the handbrake in my hands, but it would be a bit more easy if you could provide the data (as far as it is not to much work). Thanks =)

      @KonJamo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Your spring looks much better than what the guy providing the 3D model in your link took. Is it the 1.5x15x35mm lenght? Thanks for making these awesome video tutorials, m8!

    Those who have any issues with message "The Joystick library can only be used with a USB MCU (e.g. Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Micro, etc.)." You need to select correct board on TOOLS->BOARD->ARDUINO/GENUINO MICRO. And you should chose correct COM port on TOOLS->PORT->.

  • @ArturPiel
    @ArturPiel 7 ปีที่แล้ว +86

    Great tutorial, and I made one for myself using your video as my main guide. Can't thank you enough!
    But because I had a slightly longer potentiometer, and because I found that the value would wrap-around at the tiniest misalignment. So for example pulling the brake lever hard down to the bottom, sometimes resulted in actually applying 0-2% brake instead.
    So I made a small change to your code, added a "constrain" operation before the map operation, like this:
    pot = constrain(pot, *min pot value here*, *max pot value here*);
    Gave me more consistency and effectively dead zones at min and maximum, so the break is never slightly on or off when it shouldn't be.
    Thanks again for putting this video up here, you are a legend!

    FOR THOSE ASKING ABOUT SPRING LENGTH: You'll want a 45mm long spring with a 2mm thick wire

    • @icecreamdaycatlin8896
      @icecreamdaycatlin8896 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      spring thickness DOES NOT necessarily = strength. check the metal hardness and spring ratings.

    • @Francesc_Lopez
      @Francesc_Lopez 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What should be the Out Diameter of the spring? 15mm? so, 2mm X 15mm X 45mm

    Instead of using a spring tho, you could just use the hydraulic component on it. Plug the hydro lines and use the compressed air. Works well

  • @Wheeliedevil
    @Wheeliedevil 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I just bought these parts. Noticed that the potentiometer I got didn't look exactly like the one in the video. The pins had different locations. For those of you that can't calibrate yours after building it. Make sure that "analog read" is connected to pin 2. If you switch the other two, 1 and 3. That will just make the pot work backwards. It's no 2 that reads the movement. Good luck.

Having previously tried using a button which gives a simple on/off action & an analog joystick which doesn't pull in a straight line or have any resistance either, now I have pretty much all the info I need I guess it's time to start building :)

    To anyone who might be getting the "not declared in this scope" error, add "Joystick_ Joystick;" (without the quotes) just below the "#include " line. Apparently, the new version of the Joystick Library needs that line to create the virtual joystick. I figured this out by looking at the examples provided in the library itself, specifically the JoystickTest sketch. Hope this helps. This is an awesome project!

    THIS THING RIPS! I just finished mine off and let me tell you, it is amazing. I took me a little while to upload the Arduino files due to the fact my Library was in DOCUMENTS. If anyone else intends on making this, would highly recommend on plugging in the micro USB into the board and never touching it again. Fix the cable to the frame of the hand brake like in the video (zip tie or whatever) because I neglected to do this and ripped off the micro USB female jack on the board.
    Has anyone figured out a way to run this in multiple games other the Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally?
    I tried to run it in Forza 7 and I am unable to invert the input from the HB and it is always on.

    have a full Hydraulic E-brake.

    For people struggling with needing a "deadzone" this is how I got around that issue.
    void setup()
    {pinMode(A0, INPUT);
    Joystick.begin();}
    const int pinToButtonMap = A0;
    void loop()
    {int pot = analogRead(A0);
    pot = constrain(pot,117,1017);
    int mapped = map(pot,117,1017,0,255);
    // pot = constrain(pot,500,1023);
    {Joystick.setThrottle(mapped);}}
    The "pot= constrain(pot,117,1017) came from the minimum and maximum limits of my build. you'll need to find these by uploading a sketch that creates an output of these values in serial monitor. Once you find your minimum and maximum just change replace 117 and 1017.
    good luck!

    Looks like you can get one without a clamp for $81 or with clamp for around $110. If I were to try and build it I calculated around $87 without a clamp. So if you want a custom one that may take longer to build this is great but if you just want one fast for a good price their out there! Awesome video!

    Find your arduino project can have a different name than his...
