    Where can i get information in English on the AI Leonardo firmware? I currently use mmos and have the argon and discovery board. Does that only work with Arduino?

    Boards are freely available
    and firmware is still beta: I'm waiting for my STLink to flash the boards and for feedbacks from MrBeano's tests

    Lol, Oh how i wish those were ALL the components you need for a DD Simucube setup.

    Wheel ?

    QR ?

    Case for Simucube and PSU ?

    Button's on wheel ?

    Motor Mount ?

    Dsub, fans, Kill switch, ?


    ect ect ect,....so i would be leery suggesting the build can be done for "800$" because in reality it cant imo, Unless your getting some really good exchange rate on some of the parts or something funny like that.

    LOL, it's my 3rd direct drive wheel building so I'm quite aware of this... and the tutorial linked is more detailed for who's interested
    but nowadays everything is available in kit
    thanks to the work done by RacingFr forum members first firmware, first DC/brushless/stepper trials, first Mige supply 1er.gif

    You can buy everything or built many parts:
    ► motor mount 7€

    I found a Much more solid solution to the 3d Printed QR....and for guys who dont have printer's....almost as cheap.

    http://simuhack.com/producto/mige-130st-quick-release-2-3dqr/

    For guys with out a welder or metal fab skills, A local shop would surely charge you more than 7$ for that mount.

    Look Mat, i get your point. thing's can always be done on the cheap and DIY, But to suggest a Simucube build can be done for 800$ is completely out to lunch. There's many thing's your just neglecting to factor in.

    Great project, what is the percentage of things that can be used to simulate the real car?

    @RacingMat in that Image it shows 2 pots is that referring to, Potentiometers and if that's the case why would it have pots for an H shifter.Don't they normally use Limit Switches? is there some other item that's called a pot. Just Trying to understand and Learn. Thanks.

    Hi Mat!
    I have a RFR wheel on my Arduino Leonardo. Can I use a nema steppermotor for DD?

    About VSD-E and VSD-XE
    https://granitedevices.com/wiki/VSD-E_and_VSD-XE
    I want to use OSW to directly simulate the steering wheel of a racing car
    Unfortunately I do n’t know how to wire and set up
    0: I have two VSDs here and I do n’t know how to wire them
    1: About I do n’t have STM32 hope master now
    Please guide
    2: I just want to test whether the servo motor is easy to use
    Thank you!

    Without STM32, it's problematic. Do you intend to write your own firmware on a different chip?

    Express shipping
    There is a forum link in your tutorial with some pictures I can't open
    It is this forum link that I cannot open the picture
    http://www.racingfr.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46898
    Is there any other wiring picture
    If there is a more detailed wiring tutorial, please send me one
