Numbnuts... you skipped over the part where you solder it to the arduino... literally the only part that isn't 1000% self explanatory and unnecessary. SMH
I sincerely hope you and LucassBe are working together to make this. The two of you guys are very good at making open wheel cars, together y'all could create an insanely well modeled and highly accurate modern F1 car. It's something Beam really needs.
@0:25 How did you connect the two LED boards? Is that just solder wire between? I'm going to solder three LED boards for my rev lights soon and am looking for a way to connect them so they are tight together so they will fit into my dashboard
Hi, I built this over the last week and it looks amazing! the only problem I have is when I upload my arduino code, it says there is no such file or directory for <Keypad.h> It also is not highlighted in orange text, so I don't know if that's a problem or not. Is there something I am doing wrong? I really appreciate your help!!
5 months have passed so you have probably solved the issue but you got that error because you didn’t install the keypad library or installed it incorrectly, the library is in the description of the video (I am not related to the video owner)
Please note: Technically, you don't need to de-solder the wire, you don't even need to connect it to anything! With the new Logitech software, the wheel is recognized, the force feedback does work but all the buttons are pressed in meaning you would need to de-bind them in the software/sim. THERE IS AN EASY WORKAROUND TO THIS! If you find a breadboard jumper wire, (make sure it's male to male), you can plug the jumper wire from the black wire to the yellow wire on the cable coming from the wheelbase, which fixes the issue of all the buttons being pressed AND makes sure your FFB works flawlessly.
So, in a sense, you have two options if you want to forgo the connection to the original PCB? Either you de-bind all mappings into the G Hub software and the wheel will work correctly again just without the original buttons, OR you use a breadboard jumper wire for the 7-pin connector coming from the wheelbase, and both solutions will allow the wheel to work as intended? Like, both of those are valid solutions, right?
@@hamingnu6610 Yeah pretty much, I just jumped the black and yellow wires on the 7 pin to allow me to use all the buttons normally without unbinding, That is the route I would recommend.
Such a sweet build!! I got all of the parts and printed everything, but I have one question. How does micro USB cord not get tangled when the wheel spins?
!!!IMPORTANT!!! You really dont need to cut the wire! The plastic connector ( the white one that goes to the motherboard) is very soft, you can use tweezers to open it up pin by pin and litterally slide out the metal part inside, and slide them back in with no problem, No need for soldering or a new cable! Also i drilled a small hole in the grill part of the back and I’m keeping the motherboard outside of the wheel! So no need for desoldering any button!
Hi! I printed this adapter and I’m currently using it with a f1 wheel from amstudio and its working great, i advice to put some black electrical tape on the steering wheel end to ha a more snug fit, but for the rest it works very well for me!
@@issamfakiri5430 my wheel is a custom made one following AMSTUDIO tutorials, you should go check out his videos, my wheel has a usb cable coming out of it and it plugs into the pc, thats how the buttons work So you are connecting both the wheelbase and the steering wheel with 2 different usb cables
Looks like you don't have to keep the controller board connected, you just need to complete the circuit on the first two pins of the connector, watch this guy’s video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xn8MtHFnERk.html
nice build! can i ask something?, where do you wire the buttons to? i dont understand, i see in simhub it say "pin to ground" or "pin to vcc" what does it mean? do i have to solder 2 wire on 2 button? pls reply thx
He has done a button matrix arrangement, so that way you can many more inputs using a very reduced amount of I/O pins on the microcontroller. He is wiring the buttons between them and then wiring them to a pin on the arduino. You have to do nothing with simhub, this is only an arduino thing
hi i bought a wheel for g920 similar to what you made in this video and i need your help when i plug out the pcb my wheel base doesnt work can you help me with that?
The pro micro software provided comes up with errors, but that could be a ‘first time user’ rookie mistake on the pro micro board. Have tried 2 pro micro boards. When I hit the ‘tick’ in the uno software, it throws up errors. Using version 2 64 bit for windows 10. Is the provided program for an older version? Maybe it’s me….
Well, I got it all working, although I think I will make another one. This was my first ever wheel build, so I had a fair bit of education along the way. Great first project 👍
