    Hello everyone.

    I respectfully want to ask for information about how to make my own ffb wheel. (I speak spanish, sorry for my english) :oops:

    I'm a person who doesn't have many resources so I'll be direct. I want to make my ffb steering wheel, but not direct drive.

    I want to do it with:
    -A DC motor 24v 3000rpm
    - 1x Arduino leonardo board
    -a rotary encoder
    -Timing pulley 20t -60t
    -BTS7690B Motor Controller

    But, I have a big problem, the information is confusing.

    First, I only know a few things, for example, xloader is used, firmware for ffb (I don't know where to get it updated), I have no idea what other software is used. :think

    Second,     what is done next? The assembly of parts will be done, but how do I make everything work? How did you put the program in the arduino? How do I set it up on my pc? How does everything connect electrically?

    That is the reason to ask for help, I know there are expert people and I would appreciate it too much if they helped me. :sos

    hello there..
    for start you can search on youtube. you can find a lot of tutorial there.
    for example, here is the tutorial that I use for my first project.
    unfortunately it's in indonesian language. but you can turn on caption for automatic translate.
    and you can find another video relate to sim racing.
    hope it'll help.
