Tutorial Steering wheel mod part 1

Hi, i started play ETS2 and i liked so much, so bought a cheap steering wheel for me and y son, but i found expensive sterring wheel like a Logitech and thrustmaster with vibration and FFB system and 900º spin rotation. so i decided modificate mine, it does not have FFB, the driver doesn't work for the vibration mode and only has 300º of rotation.

i'm going to start to modificate my steering wheel first and gonna enable chage the original PCB for one of PCB gamepad dualshock.

if you have any idea for mod and FFB system, i apreciated i have and arduino uno.

I am not a technical noob but beware if I should modify such a wheel. At the end you will spend much money and you will run into any frustration imo.

@Alexey did a mod on a FFB wheel but as you can see there is already a motor in the wheel.

here some pics about my mod, first step.




actually works!
next step with arduino and two servo motors to add FFB system to the wheel, and change system 300º for 900º spin rotation.

Good luck

Este es el diseño original, consta de un eje que mueve un piñón para girar el potenciometro (logarítmico).
un tope no permite que pase de 150º de giro en cada sentido y un resorte de torsión lo regresa a su posición original.

[ENG]. This is it the original design, has a axis to move a gear to make turn a potenciometer. (logaritmic). A stop don't let pass of 150º of spin in each side, a torsion spring make the steering wheel get back to original position (zero degrees).



Esta modificación consiste en aumentar el numero de vueltas con piñones relación 3:1

[ENG]. This mod consist in increase the number of spin with gears with relation 3:1



En la modificación también se contempla cambiar el potenciometro original que es logarítmico, por uno normal. ya que no se requiere.
[ENG]. I have to change to a non logaritmic potenciometer.

I apologize for my english!

Look forward to the final work

hi , does this work ? how do you make it ? I have arduino and gamepad

Hi is there any news in the progress?
