Cousin of OSW (Open Sim Wheel)

Good morning to all guys, following this thread I came to the conclusion of purchasing these materials to make my DIY steering wheel which I list below:

Encoder: E6B2-CWZ1X 2000P/R

Engine: MY1020 48V 2800 RPM- 1000W

Control sheet: STM32F407G Discovery

N ° 3 : BTS6970

12v 100A power supply: https://www.ebay.it/itm/1PCS-PS-211...itching-Power-Supply-54-ZX/153592904789?hash= item23c2d9bc55: g: cWwAAOSweXddSV7g

From what I could understand, the best solution would be the one with the Stm32f407 Discovery board with MMOS firmware + 1000W motor + 3 ibt2 + 12v power supply at least 80A + encoder: OMROM E6B2- CWZ1X 2000P / R and rightly so?
Another question: I can't understand how to connect Stm32f407 Discovery, encoder and ibt2. Having no skills on the subject, I wanted to know politely if there is an electrical diagram that can be followed to make the connections.
I apologize in advance if it has already been said somewhere. Thank you

if you check MMOS 2014 folder > Connections. There are a lot of schematics. And i add a pic.
I am currently at the stage of finishing the project. But I'm having problems with the ibt-2 connection. When I try to turn the steering wheel to the left in Pwm & Dir mode, the engine starts to vibrate. If I choose Pwm & HBridge, the steering is working properly but there is no ffb

Thanks for the wiring diagram

Sorry I have another question, the stm32 to make it work I have to connect both USB?

yes you have to use 2 usb cable for make it work

Thanks so much

I finally managed to run it. The problem was fixed when I selected Pwm & Hbridge option on Mmos 2014 and when max force = 100%. Rpwm : PE9, LPwm : PE11, ReN, LeN and Vcc to 5V, Gnd to Gnd.

I currently use it with a single power supply and I am very pleased with it. Much stronger and much more detailed than the G25. The engine warmed up after using it for 30 minutes but it was resolved when it was cooled by a 7cm fan, ibt also warmed up, so I have to add a fan. it's time to make the other power supply and ibt connections for me.

Thanks again to everyone who shared what they knew.

Hello guys, i'm currently working on upgrading my direct drive wheel (finally got a 3d printer so i'm making some parts for it, probably going to publish them after testing). I changed the motor to a ZY1020 750W, got something like 5,4Nm with a 50A PSU (which is enough for now) but i've run into some problem with it. Setup is stm32 with MMOS, 3 bts7960, 2500ppr encoder.
Playing AC with maximum force at 100% and in game gain at 75% causes the psu to turn off (tried with a 106A server psu and still does it), setting gain at 50% seems to fix this issue (and with a bit more torque it's totally acceptable).
I also tried Wheelcheck: setting max force to 100% causes the psu to turn off after 3 or 4 "hit". Lowering the max force in MMOS under 60% fixes the issue and i can check the results. Linearity at 60% is very bad, it gets kinda good at around 30%.
That means that i have to choose between a good linearity and enough torque so i was wondering if there's something i can do to fix it, because i don't know if this is caused by the BTS7960 or by the motor itself.
And do you guys have any idea what i could check for the PSUs going into protecion mode?

Where do I find the software to upload to my arduino? Also do I just use the micro usb to power it or do I have to power it another way?

I built one of these over the last few months.
Big thanks to Gadget999 for starting this thread, without this I would still be suffering with a G29's rattle and general stickiness.

The wheelbase I've built is considerably stronger than a g29 (probably 2 to 3x) although I run it much lower than that. The improvement is not so much the extra strength, it's the fidelity and speed that really shine.

I used a
MY1020 36V 750W
1000ppr encoder
STM Disc board (initially Arduino Leonardo)
2 X BTS7960
Power supply is still a bit of a hack, 130w laptop power supply, 2 X toroidal transformers(280w each) and a 17ah sla battery.

IssuesfIssues anyone building one of these:
Use an oversized power supply, I started with a 63a server PSU and this kept tripping. 80A minimum.

If you're using a high PPR encoder then go for the STM board, the Leonardo mostly worked with a 1000ppr encoder but would loose position running wheel check or during an in-game crash. This would cause the wheel to spin in 1 direction until power is cut.

Have some way of killing power close to the wheel. See above.

Try not to have wires running to the wheel for buttons. See above.

Where are you guys finding these cheap 1000w my1020's. The best deal I can find is around $50 for the motor plus $100 for shipping to Canada. I found a 500w 1020 for $70 with free shipping. Just not sure that is powerful enough.

Do you have this running on 2 power supplies yet or are you still just using the one? How is the wheel working for you?

Wheel is working very well, im very happy with the result. im using one 40A power supply and its enough after G25.

I got mine from https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/ but I am in Australia. It was about $125AUD shipped.

I bought it on banggood for 110$ including shipping to Türkiye. 500W and i think its powerful enough

'Powerful enough' is not all its about, you also need to consider how much wattage is allowable to lose as heat. When we are operating in stall mode almost all energy consumed is lost as heat. Overloading the windings will cause melting of the laminate and/or wires resulting in a useless motor. Higher voltage motors will generally have thinner gague wiring but more windings.

Yes you are right. I can say that I pay close attention to the cooling system. 1 powerfull fan for ibt-2's and 3 powerfull fans for MY1020 500W. Its Rather satisfactory compared to G25. I can feel details I have never felt before with this steering wheel. My lap times are now very close to each other. I can feel the braking much easier now and i can feel when the rear wheels starting to slip. The true sentence is "its much more powerfull and detailed enough compare to G25". Maybe even bigger surprises await me when I connect the second power supply. I want to try this when I find the free time

I wonder if you could post some pics of your fan setup on the motor?

My wheel is wired up but I don't know what to do on the software side. I watched ebolzmagy's video about WheelConfig and when I load it my encoder just shows as ready but when I turn it it doesn't turn the picture. Please can someone tell me what software to get and what to do to get this set up?

Thanks for the link. I forgot to mention I have a leonardo. Should the firmware you sent still work? I tried to upload it to my Arduino and it failed.
