    Oh, I want 3 please… But it’s a LOT of money.
    Maybe some smart xsimulator heads can make a DIY receipt for this.

    I could easily build a set, the issue would be the software to drive them properly. IMO only maybe worth it for the brake, even then I think a simple transducer does a pretty good job for feeling ABS etc. Personally would save my budget for other G systems (harness etc), which I think would give a better bang for buck.

    Is it basically a pedal that is on a linear actuator ?

    If you have a motion sim this is a waste of time

    All you need is a vibration motor that is activated when the abs is operating

    Alil to pricey for me looking to build a set. I 3d printed a bunch of parts and got the vibration to work with a arduino nano. Im hoping motors feel ok.

    the sense of active pedal is not only vibration, it the possibility to create rapidly every kind of brake behavior soft or hard or even a clutch with the software.

    To bad i have a miss match of a DIY build and learn after that it wouldn't fit on my motion rig.
