    Good afternoon everyone

    So i am a novice to the sim world. I am a mechanical engineering specialising in the manufacture of CNC / Robotic machinery. But my electronic knowledge is limited.

    I am looking to build a 3 axis sim for racing with movement front to back for acceleration and breaking. left to right for corning, and a slide motion for loss of rear traction.

    I have no issue with building a set up but i have no idea with the electronics and integration with the PS4. How do i get the telemetry for the game/ps4 and how do i convert that into movement.

    If someone could point me in the direction or is there is a post i haven't found explaining step by step that would be perfect.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide me with.

    You can get the movements you want with 3dof and 3 motors

    The ps4 game needs to transmit data over udp

    There are many projects on here that will teach you how to do it

    Research the smc3 arduino interface and simtools
