Tutorial DIY 3D printed Sim Racing Hydraulic pedals SRT

Well reversing the GND wires from pin 6 to Pin1 and the VCC from pin 1 to Pin 6 also doesn't work connecting the pedals to the base of the g27. Neither the accelerator, which is a potentiometer, nor the brake, which is a sensor. In arduino leonardo it works but only the throttle. The brake does not respond. I've put a 500 PSI pressure sensor on it. I think that could be the problem, that maybe it needs a lot of strength to make it work.

Even with hand it should work. Can you post pictures of the wiring ?

I can pass you a photo but there are many messy cables. I summarize you.

I have 3 pedals, clutch, brake, accelerator. the accelerator goes with potentiometer and brake and clutch with pressure sensor. the brake has a 500 psi sensor and the clutch has a 300 psi sensor. both the potentiometer and the 2 sensors I have the 3 red wires attached and I suppose they are VCC the red one. then the GND (black wire) of the 2 sensors and potentiometer are linked. then the green cable that would be the signal vam separately each one on a pin of the VGA connector.

In short, the 3 red wires (vcc?) I have jumpered and the 3 ground wires (black) I have jumpered. The 3 green signal cables are separated.

I leave you some attached images. in the first you can see the wiring. It's very messy. You can see how I have it soldered with pins. this way it lets me connect it either by arduino leonardo or by vga connected to the base of the g27.

In the second image, see what it does when connecting only the brake and clutch to the arduino. and in the third image is what it does when connecting the throttle.

Hi ! Please try the following code with each pedal :

Code:

int analogPin = A3; // potentiometer wiper (middle terminal) connected to analog pin 3
                    // outside leads to ground and +5V
int val = 0;  // variable to store the value read

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);           //  setup serial
}

void loop() {
  val = analogRead(analogPin);  // read the input pin
  Serial.println(val);          // debug value
delay(100);
}

On the first picture, where does the gas wire go ?

In the first image of the gas cable I have it disconnected because at that time I only had the clutch connected to the arduino to test. the gas cable that is the accelerator is soldered to the signal pin of the potentiometer.

@Lebois. Placing the parameters that you tell me in the arduino IDE, the pedal of both the brake and the clutch already responds to me. It goes perfect. But I do not understand anything about arduino so I do not know what I have to put so that the 3 pedals respond to me.

It seems that the problem is in the parameters that I copy / paste in the arduino IDE. If I put these parameters, when iracing only detects the accelerator but the accelerator pedal is very slow. In Windows only the accelerator detects me.

int AcceleratorPin = A0;
int BrakePin = A1;
int ClutchPin = A2;

int minAccelerator = 210;

int minBrake = 0 ;

}

#ifdef USE_ACCEL

int currentAcceleratorState = analogRead(AcceleratorPin);

if (currentAcceleratorState != lastAcceleratorState)
{

lastAcceleratorState = currentAcceleratorState;
}
#ifdef VERBOSE_MODE
Serial.println("acceleration ");
Serial.println(currentAcceleratorState);
delay(500);
#endif
#endif

#ifdef USE_BRAKE
int currentBrakeState = analogRead(BrakePin);
if (currentBrakeState != lastBrakeState)
{
Joystick.setBrake(currentBrakeState);
lastBrakeState = currentBrakeState;
}
#ifdef VERBOSE_MODE
Serial.println("frein ");
Serial.println(currentBrakeState);
delay(500);

#endif

#ifdef USE_CLUTCH

}
#ifdef VERBOSE_MODE
Serial.println("embrayage ");
Serial.println(currentClutchState);
delay(500);
#endif
#endif

delay(10);
}

If I put this other parameter in arduino IDE it detects the 3 pedals separately in windows but in iracing it does not detect them.

int analogPin = A3; // potentiometer wiper (middle terminal) connected to analog pin 3
// outside leads to ground and +5V
int val = 0; // variable to store the value read

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // setup serial
}

void loop() {
val = analogRead(analogPin); // read the input pin
Serial.println(val); // debug value
delay(100);
}

Hi :
Remove the // to use three pedals :
#define USE_ACCEL
//#define USE_BRAKE
//#define USE_CLUTCH
becomes :
#define USE_ACCEL
#define USE_BRAKE
#define USE_CLUTCH

You can use the arduino monitor (M or ctrl+M) to see which value are sent back, and calibrate your pedals :
int minAccelerator = 210;
int maxAccelerator = 595;
int minBrake = 0 ;
int maxBrake = 1023;
int minClutch = 0;
int maxClutch = 1023;

Once the pedals are calibrated, add "//" to
#define VERBOSE_MODE //allow to tune min and max
becomes :
//#define VERBOSE_MODE //allow to tune min and max
The arduino will stop to send datas to the monitor, and will work faster.

By the way, if you have problems with the joystick library, please use the online arduino editor, all the libraries are included.

I have problems loading the skech in the arduino IDE, it gives me errors because I have already had problems with colorduino in the past with the libraries. Mysteriously, it still works for me even though I get an error loading skech.

I'll look at editing the commands to see.

Now if all 3 pedals work for me. Video here



I do not execute the brake because I have it without an axle, waiting for the axles from china to arrive. But the clutch does not reach 100% of the travel and the brake makes com, or a little interference even though I am not touching the pedal.

Great work, this is definitely a project I'd like to try out. Are there print files available for the P1 Accelerator and clutch? I can only find the P1 brake pedal on Thingiverse.

on the main page you have a link to the lebois website. there you find everything you need to press the pedals.

@7HUND3R If you want the accelerator to reach the 100%, you need to change the value of maxAccelerator in the arduino code.
Regarding the brake, is it fully connected ? If the cable isn't connected, it's normal to have the value moving around. You can also print the 3D printed axle.
@craig Barlett : P1 throttle and clutch aren't released yet. But the clutch pedal will be like the brake pedal. I will just change the brake calipper for a slave cylinder.

New pedals compatible :

I can print the shafts but I would need the bearings even if right?

You need the KP001 or the M12 axle ?

The kp001 is made up of 2 pieces, the k001 which is the outer casing and the p001 which is the bearing. What is 12mm, I have the k001. I am missing the p001.

I am also adding vibrate motors.
