    I updated the original post to include the history of simucube here #5 as the original post was just asking for a section.

    These Simucube builds look awesome, inspiring me to save some cash and get on the bandwagon.

    I would suggest a "Direct Drive Wheel" or "DIY Wheel" section @RaceRay @Historiker

    because OSW OpenSimWheel is just one of them,
    and it's improperly called "open" but firmware isn't
    and it's not the first design so far... ;)

    Cheers mate, I will probably have to put the new plug on for the simucube that shouldn't be to much of a problem its just the other ends that fit into the motor if they would be right.

    Yea i suppose the simucube end is straightforward but the motor end is the tricky one. One of my cable looks like the picture at the motor end but the power one only has 5 holes in it. you could contact them and ask as they do say its for power and data

    I urge you to order your cables from MIGE. They are $13.00 from MIGE and the wiring will match the various pics around the web.....see below pic provided via google

    The power cable wires direcly to SIMUcube. For the data cable you will need a female d-sub 15 pin plug.

    [​IMG]

    you could also contact simracingbay and see if they would sell you a set of completed cables. they are fairly close to you. (Slovenia).

    Nice day.


    Thank you for your early reply and further information.

    The unit price for 130st m15015 with cables 10000ppr encoder cost US$242.

    It will be better to buy 1 unit 130ST-M10010 + 1 unit 130ST-M15015 together because shipping cost cheaper.
    The total weight of 1 unit 130ST-M10010 + 1 unit130ST-M15015 is about 27kg and FedEx shipping to USA cost US$158.

    Please feel free to contact us if you have any problem.
    We will be more than happy to help you in any way we can.
