    I saw it seems servo controller code.
    I made a new code to create ffb effects based on several projects. It already uploaded on github
    Next phase is calculate torque. there are reference from here:

    I have done torque calculation based on FFB report and test. It always zero.
    after debuging (Serial.println), When changing spring force type on Wheelcheck, Arduino already create new effects. But all effects are always in "Allocated" state.
    printing received data, I saw that it never change and report ID, effectID are too high change when compare with HID descriptor (reportID in [1..14], EffectID in [1..12]).
    Do you have any idea (code is on Github without torque calculation - on testing phase)?

    I explain in detail,
    According to page 49 pid1_01.pdf:
    1. When connect Arduino to pc, pc send to host a message to ask the device return blockpool ( report id = 7: how many effect, ram available) -> done (can printed on serial port)
    2. Pc send to the device set feature report (report id =5, can be printed on serial port)
    3. Now the device create a blockload with report_id =6 and send back to pc (can not be printed on serial, wheel check freeze)
    4. Pc start to send data with report_id = 1 (set effect)
    In sketch, main loop alway check enpoint rx availble or not, if availabe read data from serial.
    There are 2 strange here:
    1. Although pc doesnt send effect data, but endpoint rx alway available (report availble end need to receive)
    2. Received data never changes, according to the flow about, the first by must be 1 but i receive 33.
    I doubt step 3, arduino send back blockload to pc. But no idea to check because wheelcheck is freeze if using serial.print on this step.

    I fixed it. just replace HID_ReceiveReport by USB_Recv (I don't know why, they are same functionality).
    Here is torque result. I use biquadSecondorder make torque smoother for damper/friction,..., but there are some NAN value because I haven't yet implemented wheel speed calculation. I will optimize code 1st beforing make PWM signal (my friend ask me use PID control, i dont know what it means atm :D )

    Yes. There are few deferences between them.
    I download 2d CAD on grabcad. Modify somes to suitble with existing materials like ball-bearing,

    The problem is that you're not respecting original creators and licences. Open source doesn't work like that, you can't just take code that includes licences in the headers, remove them and publish it on github, which is what you did.
    You removed references in the headers, as well as the non commercial creative commons licence in the main folder I published.

    I 've check again deleted files, i still keeped them in header (the original file ffb_pro.h doesn't has header- i didn't change). Maybe I miss HID descriptor because I move it from HID.cpp (not used in Arduino 1.8.10) to Wheel.h. (already add on local). it is 1st time i uploaded in github. Sorry for that!

    Do we have an infringement here? @Etienne_GameSeed are you the original creator of the code?

    If code is based on someone else property it's not allowed to change the header and to remove copyright references.
    If the license is not respected I will need to close the project here. I hope we can clarify this.
    If this is just a misunderstanding please let us know otherwise I ask you to restore the header and to make sure that the original developer is fine with the modified code and that it follows the license terms.

    Thanks, guys.

    You think, but there's still some code from me in your project. Never mind, it's not a big deal, I should never have released it in the first place. I didn't expect that such kinda things happen, but I was very naive :).
    I've started the porting to other platforms (maybe someday I'll come back on this forum to present my work, in the commercial section to avoid problems :grin).

    I started my FFB project for Leonardo from the adapt-ffb-joy project which is hosted here :
    https://github.com/tloimu/adapt-ffb-joy

    This is also from this project that I've helped in the SimuCube firmware development...

    As you can see, licence info is present in ffb.c of this project, and not in ffb.cpp of your project (it was in the project I released).
    I have much better things to do than check all the files.

    Good luck with your project anyway

    You said i can keep the descriptor. So i keep it in github. But in local i used other descriptors. I will remove it on next commit. So there is not your code in my project any more.

    You really don't understand. I never said you can't use my code (except if you want to use it commercially). You removed the original licences statements, including the ones of Tero Loimuneva. I'm not complaining only for my code reuse but also for other contributors.
    If you don't understand the principle of open source and can't read 10 lines of text explaining what the original authors expect, just keep the code you've found for yourself and avoid publishing it as if you were the author.

    Here is the original project I published in 2015 : http://www.electroseed.fr/downloads/ESP_WHEEL_0.3.zip
    At least everyone will be able to have a look at what I've shared.
    The original post where I presented my FFB wheel based on an HAPP hardware : http://www.racingfr.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49384
    The evolution of it with an Ioni : http://www.racingfr.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49848
    (this RFR forum is now closed, so images are not displayed)

    Other forks of this project :
    https://github.com/fernandoigor/BRWheel
    https://github.com/barsk/BRWheel

    There are probably other forks.

    Pending ffb software to finish pedal 1st.
    Test 2 load cell gas and brake.

    - using arduino micro
    - Using joystick library dynamic hid (for testing, i will write new joystick)
    - using hx711 multi
