One thing to look out for is that the magnetic field generated by your motor may create noise in your hall effect sensor. Looking forward to seeing it develop, sounds like an interesting project!

@MariusHeier1 Год назад

Yeah that is very true. My hopes is the sensor can be inside and motors on the outside. I will test and find out.

Brilliant work. Controllers are in serious need of modernisation. I've been hacking on an RC pistol style controller for sim racing using hall sensors. The lego prototype is already much better than a gamepad for this use case. Ultimately want to do ffb too but it's slow progress as a hobby effort.

@adhillA97 8 месяцев назад

If you can use the motors to hold the stick in any position then you can make the stick act like a throttle lever by allowing it to move up and down and hold position there but re-centering it if it goes off in the y axis. You could maybe even create some custom resistance maps to make it behave in more complex ways depending on it's position, like making it stimulate a gear shift - so it will hold a few specific positions but if you push it outside of those positions it will return to the nearest one (or maybe use some more complex pathing to determine which one to return to).

@KastorFlux Год назад

This is pretty good 😀 Try changing the length of the stick inside. It'll give you more or less travel of the magnet over the sensor and you could get it configured so that the range of positions that the stick takes at rest, are within a small enough target to minimize the "dead zone". With tolerances expecting the springs to wear out over their expected lifetime of course.

@Babbages Год назад

the only downside I can see to them is they still use a spring-loaded analog stick with plastic around it that is still gonna wear out and become loose over time just gonna take 3 times as long to be loose and wobbly but it will eventually start happening from loose analogs with weak springs but other than that concern I'm loving them things.

@HolarMusic Год назад

Great video but a small nit-pick, the sound effects are way too loud compared to your voice, same with music. This is especially noticable on phone speakers

@TheNightAngels95 Год назад

Wouldn't it be able to track a complete 6dof motion. By tracking rotation and position simultaneously in 3 axis, it would allow for a gimbal controller coming off of a single unit, probably not viable for a joystick, but opens up possibilities for simulation rigs.

@doktorthermik6713 Год назад

Great work! I am searching for a small formfactor forcefeedbackjoystick for a while now. Your work would enable to fly a realistic flightsim from the couch without the need of a cockpit replica. Especially flying Sailplanes virtually is quite dependent on the forcefeedback wich makes a decent simrig expensive. I am following your project with great interest. I came here from the Hackadayblog.

@MariusHeier1 Год назад

Awesome. Thank you! One challenge of force feedback and small form factor are batteries. Would probably need a bigger pack or cable. What sims have sailplanes? Sounds really cool. I use to fix airplanes as a job many years ago.

@triadwarfare Год назад

Interesting. This is beyond what the current Gulikit analog sticks can do. But I do wonder if it'll maintain PS4 compatibility, as Gulikit seems to only limit themselves on the Switch, mobile devices, and PC, which leads me to believe they don't have the licenses to connect to PS or Xbox. I also think that the stick feedback would be another whole can of worms that you would need to solve, as I think no game has this functionality yet. The haptic trigger had to be programmed by the game devs, and I believe this would be the same, unless you can make the process easier and get the data from Rumble

@MariusHeier1 Год назад

Gullikit needs to have the magnetic sensor on a pcb. And because its not part of their joystick. So thats probably a reason why there is no kit yet. And you would probably need to run another microcontroller to feed the original controller with the voltage levels it wants. My first idea for feedback would be to use it instead of rumbling motors. Maybe a good start. Its gonna be fun to order my own pcbdesign for the ps4 controller and experiment with that as well. Thabks for you comment

@MariusHeier1 Год назад

@amanosatoshitranslates Год назад

the problem is how can we use and when should we use. if i had to use one hand just to rotate that, it miss the point of being a controller.

@campersruincod6134 Год назад

You were talking about resolution per 1 degree with the hall sensor. This is significantly better than PlayStation analogue stick resolution. I’ve noticed when aiming with a DualShock 4 or DualSense controller, that making very tiny adjustments is quite imprecise. Even with KontrolFreeks, the small movement accuracy seems to be quite limited with PlayStation controllers. Would Hall effect sticks feel noticeably better? Like would you feel the increased resolution when trying to make small adjustments to your aim?

@MariusHeier1 Год назад

I think i will find out later today 🤠 Almost all gaming controllers made is using the alps alpine joystick. Which is 1$ joystick from the early 2000s. Because it is so noisy. Noisy being like the computer think it is constantly vibrating. (It doesnt vibrate, it just think it is because of the way the joystick make its signal). They usually add smoothing effect in the controller computer. This can make noticeable lag which can be manifested as you describe. Also many of the controllers use low resolution voltmeters/analog2digitalConverters for resding the joystick signal/output voltage. So even though the controller computer says its suppose to have 255 positions pr joystick axis. It might just have 127.

@campersruincod6134 Год назад

@@MariusHeier1 really good replies, thank you! Would it be possible for you test the SnR ratio of different controllers and the real world positions per stick? It would be really cool to have this kind of data measured on a video, to spread awareness of how bad most controller analogue sticks are. Thrustmaster make a controller called the eSWAP Pro. They sell improved analogue sticks with it, called NXG sticks. The RU-vidr called Rocket Science tested the stick accuracy and deadzone for many different controllers. What he found was almost every controller had noticeably imperfect stick accuracy and off-centre deadzones. PlayStation controllers fairer better than Xbox, but were still far from perfect. The Thrustmaster NXG sticks were visually perfect. Accuracy was extremely good, with Deadzones almost perfectly centred. Can you explain this? I know sticks need factory calibrating, but how are the Thrustmaster NXG sticks so much better? Better calibration? Better analogue stick ADC? Using hall sensors?

@vCuda Год назад

You should make a patreon, or add RU-vid memberships to the channel. I'd love to be able to support you monthly! It makes me so happy to see hall sensors making a resurgence after being left by the wayside for so many years. The fight against corporate greed is going our way!
