    I am making a 2dof simulator for GP-Bikes
    I share the abances with arduino

    using the following components:
    x1: Arduino Pro Micro
    x4: 1K Potentiometers

    The chassis I will use is from a Yumbo R8 motorcycle.
    The handlebar is an adaptation using a front fork from a Beta RK6 motocross.

    I leave a small video tutorial
    Required program: Arduino 1.8.16 - Download: https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.16-windows.exe

    Components:
    An Arduino Pro Micro Board
    4 1K potentiometers

    Video-tutorial MP4: https://archive.org/download/control-sim/ArduinoControlSim.mp4

    I previously left a wiring diagram and code and Joystick library for Arduino.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    After loading the arduino .io code you must calibrate how a joystick is calibrated - Calibrate the steering (handlebar), accelerator, brake and clutch. And now you can test the potentiometers in a game, I created it for GP-Bikes. It also works for car simulators.

    Hello, have you thought about adapting an accelerator with a hall sensor?
    I tried to download the video but it is no longer available.

    Pretty much any of the hall sensor throttles work just fine. You do get what you pay for though when it comes to reliability and linearity.
