PROJECT RACER [IN PROGRESS]

Hi,

At first sorry for my english, it is not my native language, but i'll try make this text understandable

At first I with friends were dreaming about own motion sim. We didn't have much money, so we thought about building simulator. At first we were starting makeing a our control system. We maked a 3 pedals and a steering wheel with Mjoy16 (Igor Cesko HID usb Atmega16 interface, pcb reprojected by me) ).

It worked fine until we disassembled it to parts because we planned do something better - motion simulator.

We had a luck, because we earned a few money. I designed a core idea - stepper motors, own driver, and own controller. We're the electronic school students. The first idea :

but it was to hard to realise at real.

So the next idea was similar thing, but the motors will lift it up and down. We started doing that, but now we're empty, we're waiting to a money to go ahead. Tomorrow i'll try make a few photos of that.


Next thing is the controller, I started makeing it at prototype board. Now it can receive data from pc, change multipliers, and show the hmh, rpm, gear data (the axis data will be interpreted and the engines will be steering by it). Unfortunately game engine cant connect to lfs, so i test it with Output testing at game engine.).
So it is "at road so far"

Thanks for reading,
sorry for mistakes.

Hey Pixello, good luck with your build. I like your idea and sketch. Can't wait to see what you and your friends will come up with.

Hi @Pixello

The pictures of steering wheel are very small, can you re-upload bigger pictures?
The wheel looks very interesting

Yeah, sure,
i have also first test drive movie ,
it was incompleted, so sometimes steering wheel go out of the frame , also it was uncalibrated, so i couldn't steer well.

Now mechanical parts

Now i must buy a new drill to go ahead. My old have such low power for 10mm drilling task.
