    Nice work Craig ,,,, looks great ,,, I wouldn't mind building a wheel at some point ,, ,, Although no matter how far down my to-do list i get , it just keeps on getting bigger haha ,,

    Looks sweet. How do you like the BlueHID so far?

    Its brilliant mate so easy to use, well worth the money for the hassle it saves you. I just plug it in every couple of days to charge had no issues at all

    ive really got to get this blue hid sorted. what is the depth encased so i roughly know how far i can move my wheel back. The cable is pretty annoying if you let go of the wheel

    Mine is quite deep I think 50mm as I was using jumper wires and my battery was bigger and the horn button stuck into the back a bit also. Well worth it and it is really plug and play its so simple

    cheers @bruce stephen. i just had a look at that again. I think it would be best to make a new button plate from scratch with a round wheel to just use on dirt rally. I dont fancy butchering my ascher plate just in case i break it

    Yes I agree I wouldn't mess up the Ascher, plates are fairly cheap or easy to make. I have three wheels and only one is BlueHID. I've got a few more boards on the way. Im planning a button box also.

    i will probably copy the front plate of the ascher and cut it from aluminium. i will cut the paddles that one of the links on here somewhere posted and go from there. out of interest where did you get your buttons from, as the ones in my ascher are pretty expensive so i doubt i need to buy them?

    I'm going through the same pain - currently waiting to get access to the download - but it has now been two days and no action :( - how long did it take you?

    Was not stressing - just thought it took some time to activate the account - so when you said that it was basically automatic - ended up accessing an area of my email that I had never used before - as it was in German :rolleyes: Found it :) - thank's all sorted :thumbs.

    Hi. I bought a Simucube + Ion HCpro + power supply 1000W + Migue130ST-15015 .
    I'm trying to set it up.
    I need to configure the Granity for a Migue130ST-15015 servomotor.
    I followed this video .
    Do you have any tutorial on how to configure?
    Can you send me screenshots of how you have configured everything and some advice?

    Thanks, a greetings.

    I have another problem with the MMF FFB rotation setting.
    The rotation steering angle minimum is 180º maximum 2160º, I need it to be, minimum 0º maximum 2160º because I am going to work in -60º and + 60º right / left.
    Do you know how to configure to change this parameter and have more freedom in rotation?

    brion sohn on box this lap says
    https://boxthislap.org/simucube-setting-and-tunning-guide/
    Rotation – Steering Degrees: (parameter = 900/USER_DEFINED) –
    This sets the degrees of rotation you wish to allow in the steering. Most games use 900 deg while others use 1080 deg. You can set this to any rotation you would like and in doing so it sets your endpoints. Setting this different than the game may alter the way forces are translated to the wheel

    Center Steering – Sets Steering Center and Offset: (parameter = checked) –
    Though this box never actually stays checked, it needs to be checked after clicking the Use Encoder Index box under Setup. Once checked when the steering wheel is centered an offset number will be saved and shown under the rotation heading. Ideally you would want to have this as close to “0” as possible since “0” is the encoder index and the point at which MMOS loads setting from onboard memory. you can adjust toward “0” by loosening your steering hub and turning the shaft testing the offset until you get close to a registered zero. Once found you can tighten the hub. This should put you within a small range of “0” plus or minus. The advantage of the center point being close to “0” is that generally the phasing of the servo upon startup will cross the zero point and initialize MMOS or at worst when you center the wheel it will initialize and load your in memory saved settings.

    Thanks for the answer, this guide will serve me a lot to configure my simucube.

    Regarding the rotation 900º is because the steering wheel is wanted to rotate two and a half turns (2.5 turns). When he turns those turns the steering wheel gets hard and does not let more turns.

    I want you to do the same thing, but when you turn +/- 50º, get hard and stop.

    In the MMF FFB only leaves at least 180º with the wheel, so my question is if there is someone who can modify it to change this value.

    Or if there is some way to modify it so that when the axis turns 50º it becomes hard and stops.
