    Hi.

    This was my previous post on modding handbrake https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/diy-handbrake-from-aliexpress.14000
    And i did not like how it was working. Have also watched how full chinese ready made and..... well did not liked it :)
    So I have made one that is hall sensor based (analoge input not digital) with customizable tension and it has returning spring for faster returning.
    It is perfect. Here are some pictures of ready made internals.
    The hydraulic that I have used is AD1425 adjustable tension and have purchased it some time ago for around 6,5€ incl delivery. Instead of rubber buffer I will print custom distancer but other than that it is super.
