shiftknob+brake shock

hi im new here and want to ask for some help. i machined my shift knob from my g25 to house a mini-motor from a cellphone to have shock. my question now is how can i make it work at certain rpm? i think i will need a plugin, and somehow a way to connect it to make it function... but how?

same goes for the brake but i havent put a motor on the pedal yet.

here are some pics(not very promising soz i will take higher res ones) that will give you an "image" of the build:


the sim i use(and want to continue use) is rFactor

bass shaker support is yet to be done, and this could work, just not yet.
Maybe you could use a motor controller and an axis off simtools to make is spin, but thats about it at this stage.
No I dont know how.
Cheers, David.

i have tested the voltage of it and seen that around 0,8 to 1,3v it has a very good feeling for idle rpm, while at around 3v it has a good feeling for rev limiter or also it can start 500-1.000 rpm before limiter. i was also thinking that an easy way to make it function will be to wire them through a led indicator(like the ones the g27 uses). for example 1voltage constant and when the leds flash the voltage will raise to 3. but i dont have a g27 i have a g25 and i need to build a led indicator to make them work. if anyone has a link of a diy rpm light i would be grateful.

yep but without some help it will stay on the shelf at it was sitting for over a year now... so PLEASE if anyone can help im even interested in donating his engage ring for his wife +beers and condoms for a year all free

thx a lot bsft i will order the stuff and assemble it and post the results here for everyone to see.

How did you go ? Any progress.

not any progress at all as i just have migrated to germany and i dont have tools, my notes nor any free time. but for until i find spare time i read some posts here and there cause i want also to build a moto controller( http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=1195.msg14426#msg14426) as far concerning this upgrade i have purchased the dx tm1638(http://www.dx.com/p/jy-mcu-8x-red-light-digital-tube-8x-key-8x-double-color-led-module-104314) and im planning on making the shock function everytime the leds need to light on(meaning closing to rev limit). can someone tell me which way im going to get those information from the sim? arduino chipsets do so?

Hi @kon
You have to use GameDash software: go to FAQ ;-)

I wrote a tutorial about Rev light: look for 7 segments 12v gear indicator (i can't search the link with my phone)

i cant find that tutorial your talking about.

take a look here http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/12cm-12v-7segments-gear-indicator-with-gamedash.5747/
and its in @RacingMat signature too

yeh i saw that but this is a diy gear indicator thread i want to machine a rpm indicator dash.

i toulaxiston ena tropo na perno entoli rpm klp gia na tin proo8o sto shock.

Thanks @insanegr !

@kon :
>can someone tell me which way im going to get those information from the sim?
if you read it carefuly, you will see that you can get the RPM from the game through GameDash companion app of Simtools.
Once you get the RPM, you can light on the rev light whten it reaches the level you want.

>arduino chipsets do so?
Yes Arduino can do the job

One moment please. So far i have bought a tm1638(http://www.dx.com/p/jy-mcu-8x-red-l...x-double-color-led-module-104314#.VFC0VldERAo) so i guess next thiing to buy is a way to connect this board to another board with a usb on. but ive found numerous different forums here and there pointing at 2 arduino boards. the nano v3(http://www.dx.com/p/nano-3-0-atmel-...d-w-usb-cable-for-arduino-152052#.VFCx71dERAo) and the uno rev3(http://store.arduino.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=195) so which one of the two is the right one? sorry i cant read all you have written on your forums cause i dont know a little about electronics its like reading chinese. but i can understand the basics. can someone also tell me if its easier just to buy this (http://www.symprojects.com/shop/spi-d-digital-speedometer/) whats the pros and cons?

Any Arduino model will work...

Here is a wiring diagram from this good post with supplier links
http://www.xtremeracers.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=9062#p119261


then you have to follow eaorobbie tutorial to connect to GameDash (look at FAQ)

which of those 2 must i buy after? have they got any difference?(http://www.dx.com/p/arduino-nano-v3...affiliate&utm_medium=dealextreme#.VFDN9ldERAo) or this one(http://www.dx.com/p/nano-3-0-atmel-...d-w-usb-cable-for-arduino-152052#.VFDOU1dERAp)
also i cant find the tutorial, u mean the posts eaorobbie wrote on the gamedash dl page? its on the discussion tab.. these ones?

The 2 nano are Okay!

If there is the "CH340" mention, the USB chip requires to download a specific driver (from: http://www.5v.ru/ch340g.htm)
like this ultracheap one @3$45 only http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...d-with-USB-Cable-Free-Shipping/591964167.html
You can read "DCCduino" on these cards

Please quote the link you found...

here is @eaorobbie tutorial http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/tm1638-multiply-page-display-with-gamedash.5003/
have tried it with an original uno rev3 and works perfect with a tm1638 like the one you have(blue pcb)
and tried it also with an arduino nano v3 and cant make it work.i can see the logo when i connect it to the pc or press reset button ,
but when i open a game my display stays black suppose my settings are ok as i can see nano's led (rx if i remember right)

yes i follow this exactly thread of eaorobbie. i will come with more results when all parts come to my hands. one more question please, is this the same like the uno r3 of the official site? or is it a cheap copy or something? http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNO-R3-Deve...570?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258d976672 compared to the original http://store.arduino.cc/product/A000066
