3 points. 1. Necessity is the mother of invention (gamer4ever says, "enough is enough to expensive yet poor quality gear") 2. This is what happens when you combine imagination, a fire in your belly and natural talent 3. If you could share a schematic I'm sure all your existing and new subscribers would be grateful. You Rock, Top Job.
Amazing work, man! I'm just starting to look into making something like this but yours are way better than anything I was imagining. Where did you learn about the electronic components and how to wire them up? Any chance of a tutorial? I know this video is 3 years old but hey, you might consider it lol
Nice work! But I have a question for my project which is exactly same your project. How I connect load cells (2 pieces, 3 wire, 50kg and half-bridge) to HX711? And also how I connect HX711 to that USB Joystick board? Thank you!
Well done!! Congratulations!! I want to ask you, do you consider 50kg Load cell it's too much or it's enough?, Why do you to choose, that kind of load cell? I have seen lager ones. And where i can find the amplifier diagram ? Tnks
That's very neat. I am pretty interested in the mechanism you used for the clutch, looks like the one found in the Fanatec Clubsport pedal set. I'd like to modify the clutch pedal of my good ol' G25 to include something like that...
Nice job! I was reading through your comment section, I think I might build one using the same sensors! Although I'm curious why you used halo effect sensors instead of a linear potentiometer sensor for the throttle/clutch? Also quick question on the frame assembly, do you remember where it came from? You said it was stainless steel, but was it scrap you had laying around or some type of bracket from a hardware store? I only have basic tools and a dremel, so I'm fairly limited that's why I'm asking. Thanks!!
Diverse Films I was using linear potentiometers before but they dont last long. the hall effect sensors are contactless so they last long and they are also very precise I will never go back to potentiometers. the metal I use is scrap stainless steel was laying around so I cut it and welding it
can you please tell me the dimensions of the parts you made for pedals...like length of that steel frame in pedal and others....i just want some numbers as a head start....thanks
Nice work! congratulations! Just a little question: You use a load cell as a bridge, but you said that it could be at resistor. can you tell me the specs for this?
There are half bridge and full bridge load cells, because i use half bridge .... here is the explanation: www.fut-electronics.com/wp-content/plugins/fe_downloads/Uploads/Tutorial_for_Load_Cell_weight_sensor%2050KG.pdf
+Adrian Castello Thank you Adrian. The stainless steel all together with springs cost me about 20-25 USD, all the screws about 8 USD... to biuld joystick controller with all other small electronic parts cost me about 11 USD, Load cell amplifier ~ 11 USD, 50Kg Load cell (4 pcs for 6 USD)for brake you need only one, ratiometric hall effect sensors 2 pcs for 5 USD and neodium magnets for them ~2 USD - (for the throttle and brake) + big effort but that's free :)
Hi! Great work first of all! Can you share with us where you bought the dampers for the clutch and gas pedal? Have you build them by your own? How much Kilo pressure do you used for the springs if so? How did you manage the snap back of the brake pedal? Is it just a damper too or have you used hydraulics?
Hello there! The dampers and springs I already had in my workshop... I still have many iven different ones..I just cut them little by little and doing test how's the reaction. On the brake pedal there is short low tension spring to give the reality deadzone feeling and damper right next to it than they both push the 50kg load cell sensor.. very happy with the results
You need sensors those output analogue signals as the factors of voltage, they call it linear sensor, 3144 is digital output meaning depending on North / south, it will putout 0 or 1 ( 0 or 5v) nothing in between.
Sorry I have another question for ya lol, I bought some of the same parts you got like the two half-bridge load cells and hall effect sensors, just wondering what load cell amplifier did you use that's compatible with the two 50kg sensors? I never realized I needed it until now. Thanks again for the info, hopefully I can get them working as precise as yours.
I liked ur video and even the fact that potentiometers are not precise i converted an arduino uno into a joystick and used potentiometers but they r not precise can i use ur technique with the arduino?? Plz do reply
+gamer4ever thank u very much i will buy them and use them as i will be free. Thank u i think its foolproof idea bcoz i was getting fluctuating signals with the pots
Because i'm using half bridge load cells. www.fut-electronics.com/wp-content/plugins/fe_downloads/Uploads/Tutorial_for_Load_Cell_weight_sensor%2050KG.pdf
Using: Allegro A1302 Ratiometric Linear Hall Effect Sensor. It's full bridge board, i have connected two half bridge sensors on it (one active the other passive).
Abhisek biswas Hello friend, They are simply connected as potentiometers on a game controller just instead of potentiometers I'm using hall effect sensors
