Build 3d printed race sim pedals. Required Software/Diagrams can be downloaded here www.xsimulator.net/community/... STL files www.thingiverse.com/thing:455...
Hello, the pedals are looking great! Potentiometers exist in two different types, Linear and Logarithmic. - Linear is what you want to use for this kind of projects. - Logarithmic is what you want for audio (volume control) applications. Also, any value for the potentiometers should be fine, if it is connected 1 -> 5V 2 -> A0 3 -> GND where 2 is the central pin of the potentiometer. Value should matter if other resistors are used in the circuit, but in this simple case it's not necessary.
Thank you. Agree the potentioeters shouldnt make diff. But in this application it does. I have tried multiple potentiomiters and found that certain values do not give enough range. As said in the video the acelerator would start half way or or only go half way depending which way around you connect them and would not have worked it they were connected incorrectly. It it may be due the way the original creator of the firmare coded it. causing them not to utalize its full resolution. Also the pedal only has about 1/4th travel on the pot. 1/4 th on 100k and 1/4 th on a 1k does not pose the same amount of resistance. Cheers!
@@Mailmartinviljoen Sounds like you did not calibrate them in windows and/or the game. Calibrate in Windows. Than they will ONLY work in the range where you can actually move them. This is crucial for almost every controler to work properly. Even freshly bought xbox controllers should be calibrated first!
Excellent work friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge for everyone, I have a question, is there any possibility of using an elastomer between the brake springs?
Quite simple :-) The Leonardo is making use of a different chip that allows it to behave as a computer peripheral. I.E it can emulate Keyboard/Mouse/Joystick. The Arduino Uno cannot do that in standard form. There is however a way to reflash its chip but then it cannot be used with the arduino IDE anymore and will also not be compatible with the wheel software. If you look in the Standard Arduino ide under examples->USB there are some examples that you can look at. In the header it clearly tells you it will only work with a Leonardo.
I'm planning on building this soon, but i'm a bit confused on how the bearings do anything. How are they attached to the bolt that is used to hold the pedal in place, as it looks like it just sits in the hole.
Well spotted :-) They don't do anything, call it a design flaw if you like. They are only there to provide a steel pivot as opposed to running the plastic directly on the steel bolt
Hi Marktin! I'm a disabled sim racer and I use a game pad. I purchased a Logictech wheel and pedals but cannot use them without some modifications. I was wondering if you'd be interested in working on the project with me? I'm in need of someone with your skills. Let me know. :)
Why do you use linkages instead of opting for a design with a 3d printed hinge that spins the potentiometer? I want to create my own design but I'm not sure if using linkages is going to be the option I want to use.
Do you mean attaching the pot to where the pedal pivot on the body? I used the links because it was easier to design it that way. Also allows me to hide it out of the away. Not sure if i understand you correctly.
@@Mailmartinviljoen Yeah that's what I meant, sorry for the convoluted sentence. Also thank you, your reasoning behind your design decision, it helps a lot. I'm working on a similar design but didn't know if the linkage was spinning the pot to a further degree; which could be beneficial.
Hey Man, Die springs is gewone electric fencing springs. Dink dit hou die drade uit mekaar. En ek het dit by chaimberlains of builders gekry kan nou nie onthou nie. Maar het die pedals verkoop 🤪. Ek dink nie dit kan te lank hou nie. Dit is maar net plastiek op die einde van die dag.
Hey bro, first I appreciate you about your good job! It's a good project. For 3d printing, which filament did you use? And which method(FDM,MJF,SLA?) did you use? Can you please tell me, how I will make this plastics strong?

Thank you for a nice making! I know what my printer is going to print :)
Awesome video, ive seen RS Components ZA seem to have a wide variety of springs

Very fine job mate.. definitely diy it
Thanks a million for STL ..
Thanks for the video, very informative and interesting 👍
l saw another projects, yours the best one !
Amazing work / l so another projects, you re the best l saw , l will use it, congrats
Excellent work friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge for everyone,

Good pedals, I'm printing it now!
Hello, does it worth?
Добрый день,собрал базу на Леонардо,а штурвал собирал на мини про ,все работает отлично,удачи!!!
Подскажешь какие пружины поставил?
I can hear that SA accent bro🤣 #represent
amazing job mate! do they tend to break?
great design! those springs are not available here , can you please provide the dimensions so that i can make custom ones
regarding the 1k 10k potentiometer problem, isnt it fixable on the arduino sketch?
Can you tell me all the potentiometers should use 100k right because I use 10k then I have to always say at half when I play.
Will you be making a sim wheel?
can you make a video of how to build it?
what length of spring did you use?
i would like make something like this (maybe more smaller) to ATS and ETS2
Can you give the dimensions of the spring?
What items are used? Thx for answer
I do not know english. Can you please write down the screw size you use?
where i can find the list with the mechanic parts?
Hey bro nice work ! Can i ask you, why doe we need the leonardo ? Can i just use an uno instead ?
Quite simple :-) The Leonardo is making use of a different chip that allows it to behave as a computer peripheral. I.E it can emulate Keyboard/Mouse/Joystick.

@@Mailmartinviljoen would it be possible to use a longer bolt and put a nut on the end so it actually uses the bearing?

These are awesome! I'm going to make a clutch petal using this pretty soon. How well do these hold up?
Hi thanks. To be honest i havent used it all that much, so im not sure how long they will last.
I ended up using an arduino pro micro. I wrote my own code so i could use a 10k. Just make sure use use something like petg
@@jefrie7144 Could you share the code for the 10k on the pro micro? That's what I am planning on using.
@@Wshaf97 If you still need help I can try to code something for you from scratch.
@@1312_PV hi, i need help too
hello bro
Is there a place where you can tell the measurements and characteristics of the components you use?
Thank you
Dude wat noem jy daai springs wat jy gebuik het?
en dan ook hou hulle nog of jy geupgrade?

@@emrekaraagac3211 hocam teşekkürler, peki eğip bükmeye çalıştığınızda bir sıkıntı çıkardı mı? esneme vs var mı zamanla?
where did you get the hex file???
What's the recommended orientation for printing the footplates?
Definitely on its side. I'm using Cura and added a brim to keep it stable. the pedal sides are glued to the foot plate using epoxy.
thanks so much, this really is a huge progress for what Im trying to build.
update?
Ola vc poderia seder o prejeto da impressora 3d pra fazer um pra mim obrigado se puder ficara top d mais

what size bearings did you use for the pedals?
5mm bore diameter
625Z bearings...
how many meters of filament
1kg is more than enough. Your slicer should be able to tell you how many meter is will consume.
works in arduino uno r3 ?
nope.
Can you share step files?
In the description ;-)
@@Mailmartinviljoen it got stl's but not step am i missing something
Where is the arduino code?
There's no code as such , you have to upload a precompiled binary downloadable from the link in the description --> www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/diy-ffb-steering-wheel-mmosffb-in-progress.7769/page-8
They’d be a lot better made from nylonx
Можете помочь мне сделать?
djas
size of bolts?
basic info man come on
